Finnish President Is Tired Of Americans Touring Finnish Schools--UPDATED

Finnish president Sauli Niinisto is calling for a moratorium on Americans touring his schools...because we're just not learning

BBC News, April 2010





He's actually called for a moratorium on giving Americans tours of the Finnish education system. A MORATORIUM, for crying out loud. It's gotta be painful to all those closely held notions of American exceptionalism that Finns think we're too stupid to actually absorb this information. But the hits keep coming:

"We expected education reformers would do something in response to all they had learned from us but for some reason Americans just don't seem to be learning. Perhaps they have something other than improving public education as their goal."

Gosh, Arne Duncan, I do believe that one left a mark.

Is our children learning? Hell, it's clear the people in charge CAN'T learn.

UPDATE: Turns out I've been punked and this is from a satire site. Still it's a damn shame that stories like this are believable, isn't it?
