Homework

Most students would agree that homework is one of the biggest downfalls in going to school. The last thing that the students normally do is to get out their books and do their  homework given by their respective teachers. It seems that the county Finland implemented the no homework policy.

In Canada, the high school graduation rate is around 78 percent while in America got 75 percent. Now, consider the fact that the graduation rate for students in Finland comes in at 93 percent showing a massive comparison between the countries.Additionally, Finland also happens to have the highest rate in Europe for students going to college. So, how does it so happen that Finland can claim such a high percentage of graduating students? Is it all purely down to the fact that they don’t have homework? Not necessarily. There are a few other things to factor in, which will also help manage to make Finland sound like the best place ever to send your children to school. Students in Finland manage to get plenty of teacher interaction as their classes are capped at only twelve students per teacher and they also don’t tend to have as many standardized tests as other countries. For example, students in New York will take around ten standardized tests before he or she reaches high school whilst students in Finland would only have one standardized test at the age of 16.
