I think that some of the qualities that Finnish schools have should be taken into serious consideration and applied to the United States. Some of the criteria, such as free college, developmental screenings, and no competition among the students seems like a wonderful idea in our country. It makes things a lot less stressful so that the students can focus on the content they are learning instead of trying to be better than their peers. Also, I thought that the developmental screenings would be extremely helpful. As someone who has needed extra tutoring in the past, I think that if we adopted the ways of the Finnish, we would be better off.
