Not focusing on measurements of results
No merit pay for teachers
100% public funding

So yeah, I predict at least one response of “That could never work here”. But is it really so hard to believe that the usual school systems have it bass ackwards?

For Maxwell: Nobody is specifically saying that the public funding is why it works, if it was that easy, the Finns wouldn’t hands down beat out Denmark and Norway.
