  • @jessie245 I did not know that Finland is more accepting than in the United States. Where do you get this information from? You've been there before or something. Just curious :)

    I also like the fact that people in Finland go into more practical and useful-to-society careers such as engineering than in management and law.

  • @HinFoo Actually, there are quite a lot of Muslims in Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Religion isn't really an issue in Finland, People don't talk about it often and don't really care what religion other people follow. finland's a lot more accepting of other cultures than most other countries in the world such as the United States. :)

  • must be because there is no muslims there.

  • @istiiizzz

    Nonsense! I go swimming in the lake nearby with my friends almost every day when it's -50'C.

  • @malkmusjick He didn't have the same education system as the kids. And like the story showed: Not everybody has to be best in all the subjects. He was probably never the best in his English classes... but so what?

    So can't work as a head master, in his own language?(!)

  • i live in USA and people from Finland speak english better than here..

  • @theworldvideos1 Thanks for the reply ... sorry I didn't say anything when you first replied, but I hadn't been back to this video since I wrote my question.

  • 3:43 Hes the head teacher ? he can barely speak english hahahaha.
