Aha!! i found a nice arcticle on Finnish education >: D
I feel it gives a near perfect view of the comparison between American education and Finnish education.

The first part is extended kindergarden for play or something like that and i've listened to some emotional psychology lectures and it seems play is very important!!

the second part of vocational schools seems pretty awesome as well and not pushing "college for all"

and then free higher education just makes me jealous D:<
