Damn, no vicious Finland/USA political threads about raking!

My son keeps talking about how they don't have test much in Finnish schools, yet grade out highly. He wants to move to Finland.

We actually do have tests, there's an exam at the end of every course. Some rare cases in like universities where you write like an essay or give a presentation instead, but most of the time there's a test.

My youngest gets about 5 tests per week in HS.

Holy shit

I would have lost my mind if I had 5 tests a week in school.

Finland's equivalent of high school doesn't really have a standard set for that so the number of tests may depend on the teacher's preferences. Typically at least languages and math related classes have somewhat regular tests.

Holy ****

My son is losing his mind, and wants to move to Finland, yes...now you understand. And he is only a Freshman. I ramps up next year.

I don't really care. Minnesota, Finland....what's the difference? Chick-Fil-A?

It's colder and there's less fast food options.

Meh... I don't mind tests. It proves out how much you've learned much better than general busy work that is homework given by schools. Frequent tests are why I did so well in school despite the fact that I refused to take the waste of time homework home. If I didn't finish the work in school, I didn't finish it. I then would ace the test and get respecable overall grades.

It frustrated the hell out of both my teachers and my parents "you would be capable of so much more if you would just apply yourself!" I'd hear constantly... Sorry if I believed in free-time outside of school being actual free-time to be a kid when I was growing up!

I'm perfectly happy with how life has turned out having done that.

Maybe I should have asked for the channel instead. Doesn't look like I get it wherever it is.

I think it's on the NHL network.

Talvitie injured. Not good.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I’m not sure Poehling won a faceoff in the tournament.

 

[gphr513]

Damn....

Well,if the USA can't win it, I'm glad you Finnish bros get to enjoy it!

Colder than Minnesota? Hmmm. Fargoesque?

 

[57special]

It's kind of hard to hate the Finns.

 

[TaLoN]

It's kind of hard to hate the Finns.

That's because they're so much like us. Hating Finns would be like hating yourself.

Yeah...I'm not buying it. Even though there are a lot of Finnesotans.

I never did homework (20-30 years back) and did just fine academically, got two master's degrees, post graduate studies and some okay'ish jobs.

When you are young, you are supposed to enjoy life and have stress free time with friends.
