[Peace-discuss] Fw: What can the world learn from educational change in Finland?"

[David Johnson]

Dear Friends, Fellow Activists, and Community Leaders,

First, please consider reading this excellent interview with Dr. Diane Ravitch about the privatization of education, a $500 billion market - http://teacherpoetmusicianglenbrown.blogspot.com/2014/03/public-schools-for-sale-interview-with.html

Secondly... Finland has the #1 education system in the world.  American school board members, superintendents, teachers, parents, and other elected officials should be asking ourselves, "what are they doing right, and what is America doing wrong?"

Please consider coming to the April 26th event  with Finland's Director of Education - details below.

Respectfully,
John Laesch
