All Schools are GOOD Schools

How right you are about the current situation on our education system. Back then, to have a winning horse, all you need is a thoroughbred. Today, it has changed little since and I believe the stigma of good school, bad school will stay on for another generation or two.

Verykiasu2010:
A majority of Finnish parents are no different than us here. They had sleepless nights too. I knew of a single mother with two high school kids who went through hell to get them to college. Stress is bad for our health but that’s the price we have to pay to get results.

All schools are good schools. One possibility of definition.


Academic:

No students lives are compromised.

Attendance:
More than 50% of students attend more than 50% of lesson hours.

Environment:

Feel free to add / amend the above list.

I am certain all schools have some minimum KPIs (Key performance indicators).


From MOE and school principal’s perspective, as long as those KPI are met - school is good.

What are those KPIs?
Your guess is as good as mine.

A much kinder and more humane education system. I guess Finish parents are not as stressed as us.

Finish parents definitely has zero stress. Finnish parents could still be different
