The students had lunch together in the classroom with their teacher, which was a very nice and social thing. Then they all sat down at their desks and had a nap for 30 minutes.

A few weeks before my son started first grade, I asked my friend Nagako to help me read the list of school supplies I needed to buy. We were going down the list — hasami (scissors), iroenpitsu (colored pencils) — when we got to the item that always strikes me as odd: zokin (cleaning rag).

Comment:Last Updated:2 February, 2011Section:Analysis Edward Dutton: Finland’s uniquely egalitarian society makes the model almost inimitable Original paper headline: No simple task for the UK to Finnish what it’s started Finnish schools are repeatedly described as the best in the world. So it was no surprise when David Cameron recently praised them, and promised that his Conservative Party would emulate their “unashamedly elitist” attitudes to teacher recruitment. The fact that Finland has topped such international education tables as the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) shows that, aside from the school shootings it has suffered, it must be doing something right.
But whether the UK can copy it is another question. One of the clearest differences with the UK is that there is no stark social divide in secondary education. The only real divide in Finnish schooling is linguistic, reflecting the country’s status as a former Swedish colony. Microsoft Forefront TMG. Research :A Typical School Day • Finland Forum. World News America - Why do Finland's schools get the best results? Finland's schools score consistently at the top of world rankings, yet the pupils have the fewest number of class hours in the developed world. Last year more than 100 foreign delegations and governments visited Helsinki, hoping to learn the secret of their schools' success. In 2006, Finland's pupils scored the highest average results in science and reading in the whole of the developed world. In the OECD's exams for 15 year-olds, known as PISA, they also came second in maths, beaten only by teenagers in South Korea.

The Finnish philosophy with education is that everyone has something to contribute and those who struggle in certain subjects should not be left behind. A tactic used in virtually every lesson is the provision of an additional teacher who helps those who struggle in a particular subject.
