What about those Fins and their #education?

I hear we should consider “transporting” the Finnish education system here, or at least some of their ideas, says The Answer Sheet. I’ve heard this time and again. And, the same issue props up for me, even in this new post: what are those ideas? Seriously. I never hear anything specific. Sure, there’s the whole teachers are respected thing. Makes sense, I agree, but how do you do that? Low teacher status is so thoroughly embedded in our culture, can’t turn that ship around.
