Yes I have read a little about the Finnish schools.
My kids school (shes only in pre-school though) spends a fair bit of time doing play based learning, so its not rope learning at a desk.
I do agree about the business though, I'm trying to teach my kids even now, do you want to work for little money like me and mommy or do you want people to work for you to give you ALL the money. Its starting to sink in slowly.
