      Hmm. What's a better, non-misleading title? Or is the article BS in general? I'll delete this post if it's false.

        "5 years ago finland did aight in education but since then we reformed the system and now we're plummeting like the rest of the western world"

      I don't know if something got lost in editing, but perhaps it was meant to say "no fee paying private schools"? I don't know if it's more accurate or not since the article is paywalled, I'm just speculating off the URL.

        There are fee paying private schools too. The only honest difference is that private schools can't generate profit, money going in has to go out. That just means that private schools here are proportionally even more luxurious than their public counterparts.
