Solving opportunity

The opportunity I came up with last time was in reference to the public education system in the state of Florida which would then be broadly implemented in the US, if successful. I would say that we take a page from the Finland. One of the first things to note is that Finland's education system has somewhat of a community based approach. First and foremost, the difference between the weakest and strongest are said to be the smallest in the world.  One of those reasons, is that there is no difference between the classroom structure in terms of knowledge. Moreover, the science based classes are smaller in an effort to allow for more hands on learning. There are several other, however, my approach would be to broaden the current standardized tests in an effort to allow more flexibility for teachers in grade school.  Additionally the standardized test would be taken 2x in high school to allow ample time to learn and review the material. The exam would be more of a progression measuring exam then it would be "intelligence"

  1. Hey Dave,
    Enjoyed reading your post, I too agree that the Florida Public Education system could use many improvements. I read somewhere that Finland has the best public education system in the world and if you believe by emulating that system we could could improve ours, I think you're on to something big here. Good post!
