    Hi Heli Nurmi!

    I’m writing an essay on education for my English class and my subject matter would be to design a school that would’nt be boring, childish, and create imdependent, crtical and active thinkers. I read on-line that Finland was top education system in the world. I was doing research on Finland’s education system and came across your blog. Do you have any thoughful ideas about your countries great education system that I can use in my essay? I am writing from California, USA and would be interested on your input on the subject matter?

    Lou:)
