Looks like the USA's A does not apply to Education.
Finland has one of the best education systems in the world, ranked 12th. The molding of great students begins as early as daycare or nursery-kindergarten where individuals individuality and personality are respected and are guided in their development of social skills. Attending a basic nine-year institution in Finland is mandatory which results in higher rates of successful students as students are not separated due to Finland not having any "gifted" programs which means that students will not feel discriminated. Slower students are aided by their more able peers. Classrooms in Finland school's often harbor no more than 20 students, very rarely are there more, unlike here in the United States where classes are very overcrowded. Finland's small class sizes promote interaction between students and their teachers which further aids students in comprehension. Recreational reading is highly encouraged in Finland; foreign TV programs are transmitted in their original language with subtitles in order to encourage reading among young spectators. In Finland there are no decisive exams in order to promote a serene, but work-filled ambiance. The United States's (my home) education system is deplorable as SAT and ACT scores continuously plummet and many students still lack initiative.
