[QUOTE="ORLY!?!, post: 823091, member: 16334"] I wouldnt be surprised if it where true. Could wiki or google but the facts are out there for someone else to find out. I found the movie sad and moving. Yet I believe this only to be an attempt to throw more money at a sinking ship. The lottery struck me as cruel, and the parents that work hard to pay for their kids schooling and willing to take them miles out of way to school promising. But that is only a fraction, tip of the iceberg, of parents in a sea of loser and non caring type parents. Those who rather get rid of their kid for a few hours, in the form of school, as a type of child day care. To those winning the school draw reacted as if they really won a lot of money. Yet the facts presented that those schools make 99% of their intake read for a four year college. I really smell the act to inject more money into these type of schools. The fact really left out of this movie is to why Finland is has the best school system in the world. One, smaller state ( country ), smaller population. Two they inject skills early, trade skills along side courses to ready them for college ( all selective of course ). Lastly they offer free education for all, at any time. Anyone at any age can attend thus enrich themselves. Good system, best in the world, but they sure do pay for it in the end. [/QUOTE]
