  • There are tons of articles about why FInland's education system works. They continuously rank #1 in terms of high school math, reading, and science skills. There's tons of articles, but you can sample some of the reasons why from this one: online.wsj.com/public/article/­SB120425355065601997-7Bp8YFw7Y­y1n9bdKtVyP7KBAcJA_20080330.ht­ml ; I was just saying that there is no country with a completely private schooling system, so it's impossible to know how it would improve (or worsen) education.

  • @Reed2win Could you provide me with your source for your statistic about Finland? I am starting to prep my next video and would like to examine the topic from both sides of the argument.

  • Interesting but I fail to see how private schools could ever cost less than school district taxes. Such a drastic change in the school system would take decades for low-cost private schooling to be possible. Then again, no country has done such a thing so it's hard to say. Top performing countries [in terms of grade school education] (Finland as #1, specifically) have completely public schooling systems. But I'm interested in seeing you expand on your idea in that forthcoming video!

  • @Reed2win I actually plan to make another video addressing public v. private education, but in short, I support the idea of private school as compared to the idea of public schools. I agree that most private schools, as they stand now, do under achieve. However, if more or all schools were to be privatized, said privatization would create a more competitive market for education which, in the long run, would lead to increased quality of education and lower prices.
