    As a soon to be teacher in Sweden, I can confirm that everyone holds up Finland as a masterpiece of educational prowess. Politicians especially love to tout how they’re going to be the ones to implement the Finnish system in Sweden. I honestly think you guys should ride that wave just to dunk on us Swedes, even though we love you guys over here.

    Another very common misconception is that Finland has high suicide rates, there's even the joke that Finland is the happiest country because all the sad people kill themselves, but this is just blatantly false. The stereotype has its roots in reality though. In the 90's during the big depression in Finland suicide rates skyrocketed and were some of the highest in the world for a moment, but suicide prevention programs were put in place and the rates have been steadily decreasing ever since. Nowadays the suicide rate in Finland is still a bit on the higher end for European countries but not by a wide margin and below the USA for example. Recently there have been promises made by politicians to improve mental health services and make therapy more available for the youth so we'll see how things will develop in the future.

      I've read the criteria and some of the data of Finland in the UN World Happiness Index in the past. The reason I think Finland (and other Nordics) places high, is the relatively low differences in socioeconomic standing of households and high educational standards. Both of which are majorly affecting/improving all the "negative" markers in that study.

      I think Finns and the rest of us people in the Nordic nations are the same, we don't drink too much alcohol on average, but we do drink a lot of alcohol when we party, mostly because we couldn't have a party without alcohol, it would be too awkward without it. Everyone would just sit there in silence, thinking, I could have done anything else than this at the moment, oh look everyone I found some vodka, now we can finally enjoy this party.
      I personally drink about every day, not much, but enough. A beer or 2 per day, roughly. It is really good after a hard day's work, to come home eat some food, and take a cold beer and just take a seat in the sofa and relax. After all Alcohol in small amounts is good for you.

      Watch The video "Country alcohol consumption comparison."
      Finland's alcohol consumption has dropped drasticly down in 10 years. It is fashion now NOT to drink alcohol. It has got a name "raitistelu".
      In Europe the highest alcohol consumption countries are:
      The 1st Moldova, the 2 nd Lithuania, the 3rd Chechia and the 4 The Germany
      Finland is likely in the middle even under.
      Forinstance Russia, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, UK, Estonia,Serbia Belarus, Portugal, Hungary, Cypros, Luxemburg, Poland etc. are ahead of Finland.

    I think the praises of the Finnish education system are pretty deceptive, especially since in my opinion our education system is extremely poor during this Covid Pandemic, especially for university studies. And then there's thedevious fact that a fair bunch of workplaces in Finland won't employ you if you have only a Bachelor's Degree compared to a Master's Degree or Doctorate.
    That and I think a certain quotation describes the work of Finnish teachers: "Paljon paskaduunia pienellä palkalla", or something like that.

    Here in Sweden I've heard arguments from irritating woke-ists that they parise Finland for having no homework as some sort of excuse to not study. And the fact that you bring up the other misconceptions like "Finns are shy introverts" and "vegetarians" bc of the school food - "Therefore we should do the same".
    I get the feeling that these misconceptions often come from politically motivated idividuals who like to point to other countries as some sort of reason to radically change things in their own country.
    Like when Americans point to Sweden and say "Look they are successful socialists therfore socialism is good" even though our market is pretty damn capitalist and the only reason we can have some sort of thing similar to the fantasy of socialsim.

    One notable stereotypical image of Finns is that all Finns are crazy about Hevi Metall, don't talk at all and drink a lot of vodka, when in reality most Finns listen to commercial pop, drink a liter of coffee per a day, and we like to talk eternal conversations ("vatuloida", "vatvoa", "velloa") instead of short small talk. Hevi culture is one of the subcultures of Finnish music, but it has a huge visibility in how Finland is marketed and branded in other countries. But I have no any idea that where the idea that Finns always drink a lot of vodka has come from and why we still want to stick to that image.

      Yeah. One of the reasons why the Aarnio case was so shocking and got so much coverage was because cases of that magnitude are almost unheard of in Finland. It's very rare that corruption cases of that level happen here.

      It is suspected that Finland will pay silent money to maintain the "least corruption" status. But I don't know if it's true or just a rumor because I haven’t found any research on it. But if that were true it would be paradoxical.

      the definition of corruption probably means something like how common is it to give cash to someone to get what you want. here it is called 'suhteet' (relations), what makes things go your way., also the knowledge of 'what strings to pull', as we say, will take you further than what average people can get.
      There is also cartels in Finland. Idk if this falls under 'corruption', but... it is really about how one defines 'corruption'.

      Our school lunch was €0,38 per person. It was considered the worst school "food" in the country in an investigative tv program about school food. I can agree with the result, I had lunch in a neighbouring town and it was like coming to heaven in terms of food and they considered their food bad. Our "boiled" potatoes could be used as weapons.
      The first year in school the food was awesome because they cooked the food at the school, then it became centralised as to cut costs. The TV program concluded that a small can of cat food was many times more nutritious than a full meal of school "food". My classmates that had eaten cat food also concluded that it was way better tasting than the school "food"!
      And the truth is, even with €0,38 per person we could make a lot better food in "domestic science", but I suspect that €0,38 also had to cover salaries of the staff considering how bad the food was. But at least we got free food, even if it's debatable if it could legally be called that.

    3:02 Many of these things that used to work very well have been systematically destroyed as the years have gone by. The education system is a prime example of this, I have never nor will I ever understand the obsessive need to implement drastic changes to something that clearly works. If things keep on going the way they are, we can kiss goodbye to the well faring developed Finland that we still know today. Another symptom of our falling little utopia is national debt, we have fallen from the level of other Nordic countries to the level of the Baltics and very soon to be surpassed by Estonia. Good times indeed.

    What have changed since we were at the top is that the PARENTS involve themselves into the child's life waay too much. Like if your kid sucks at math then he sucks at math, but parents calls the teachers and ask "how could you give my child a such bad grade, my child really tried". Like if the kid sucks it doesn't matter how much he tried. Instead as a parent you should take that as "ok I have to teach my child so that he can catch up". But its easier to blame the teacher for being a bad one. Then back when we got that score kids went themselves to stuff like football training... maybe hockey players got a ride because of the big bag but I doubt it. We had to plan our day, today its the parents that plan it for them and almost forces em to go to a practice.
    Then to the 2nd thing that has changed is our good friend the computer and internet. Like if you gain a certain amount of knowledge per day the chance of gaining false or "will not ever need it in my whole life" is huge. Like kids watch tiktok and what do they learn "This is how you should jump on rail to crack your balls". Yes fun has always been there but not in the same amount, even kids shows tried to teach you something back in the day and today they teach you that if you are not looking like this or that you are a failure in life.
    Today's parents are being stupid. I don't mean they lack intelligence, they lack common sense. Entertainment is only about unusable information and some of it even teaches you that school is not important.
    Important to know that this doesn't include everyone and these examples could be out of place for some. My point is that 90% of it is the parents fault, 5% our leaders and 5% our teachers. (% are there to show who has the most power to affect the current situation)
