No, you're incorrect. The retards are people like YOU, by your expecting the public school system in the US to fix itself by adopting an even more Socialist model from other nations with markedly different demographics and socio-economic makeup.
The fact remains that the public schools in the USA are failing and failing heavily, while costing greatly just to feed a class of unionized LOSERS (teachers and administrators). Each and every attempt to "reform" them only involves the same class of unionized LOSERS, and predictably they elect not to change their compensation or how they fail to educate.
The only remaining answer that remains is to REMOVE the authority of the unionized LOSERS from the school system. This authority is removed by removing the MONOPOLY the public system has. After that, market forces MUST force changes ... even if it's just to force failing public schools to close down and re-open as cheaper ones (failing or not, since they're CHEAPER, you fuckwit!).
To reiterate: If Finland's system uses "educational professionals" to run a public school system, then that SAME MODEL is already operating (i.e. failing to educate) in the USA. We've thrown MORE MONEY and MORE PROFESSIONALS at the same problem in the USA for decades. It's not working and Finland has nothing to teach us since it has nothing to export. What has NOT been tried is what worked a long time ago: COMPETITION.
You're just afraid to adopt educational competition (i.e. privatization) since it opposes your Socialist upbringing. Well, FUCK your Socialist background. You're so head-deep in Socialist asshole that you can't even see that your methods HAVEN'T worked in the USA and likely will NEVER work.
