Watching CNN (yeah, yeah, I know) about education. Finland has the top educational system in the world. They go to school about 5 hrs a day, have lots of recess, no homework, stress the importance of extra curricular activities, teachers are not pressured to "improve" test scores b/c there are NO standardized tests, and school, even college, does not cost a dime. Plus they get free health care. Yet their students, along with S Korea, perform better than any worldwide. Hmm... Going to keep watching.
