Free lunches, brain breaks and happy teachers: why Estonia has the best schools in Europe


How did #Estonia, a small country that is relatively poor compared with most of the EU, become an educational powerhouse?

In the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa) rankings, which measures 15-year-olds’ abilities in maths, reading and science, the top spots are held by a handful of Asian countries, but Estonia ranks next – the best in Europe.

Its teachers are highly educated, the focus is on social and personal skills as much as academic learning and the typical curriculum is packed with a wide range of subjects, from robotics to music and arts.

Le Service National Universel va coûter plusieurs milliards d’euros par an, prélevés sur le budget de l’Éducation Nationale, pour forcer les lycéen-nes à suivre des stages en uniforme, encadrés par des militaires. Nos dirigeants annoncent que cela devait servir à «renforcer l’unité républicaine de notre jeunesse», à «créer de la cohésion», à éduquer à la «laïcité». Balivernes.


My kid’s school has a holistic grading approach to periodical report cards, eschewing numbers and letters for a vague distance from grade expectations. Kids are either short of grade expectations, meeting them or exceeding them.

I understand the intent not to get fixated on a rigid alphanumerical scale, but it’s still possible to compare between disciplines. On their most recent report card, my 4th grade kid has been above grade in all the graded disciplines except writing where they “only” meet expectations, and I’ve been having the knee-jerk thought that they somehow needed more writing practice, which they absolutely don’t need.

"Ha sometimes I worry I watch too much porn, you know?"

"Yeahhh, I know that worry! But there's nothing wrong with enjoying some porn; it's a fun sugary treat"

You wouldn’t have McDonald’s teaching your kids about nutrition or Philip Morris teaching them about maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Why are you happy having a surveillance capitalist like Google or Facebook teaching them about technology?

The teacher profession has lately been hard in the US, and is going to be made even harder by LLMs. I reject the article's comparison with calculators, these are exact and you need to know what to ask before getting a useful answer from them. On the contrary LLMs satisfy neither of these propositions by accepting arbitrary prompts and outputting only plausible answers which might be useful or not.

I believe the introduction of accessible LLMs will further the divide between privileged students who will reap the benefits of homework vs the others who will use free LLM tools to skip homework, a cheap short-term win that will end up costing them in the long run.

I find this fascinating and beautiful. An educational work of art depicting the eras of geological time. Note the Anthropocene (us) right on top.

Drawing as described in post... Sedimentary layers down through the ages include representative fossils from each period. Perched on top, the Anthropocene includes a combination gas station, car wash, and convenience store, along with some high density buildings. A jet airliner is flying above.

Granville T. Woods an #AfricanAmerican inventor gained the name the "Black Edison". He revolutionized the railroad & electric railway industries with his inventions. One newspaper called Woods “the greatest electrician in the world"

Thomas Edison was an inventive genius but is also claimed to be a liar & thief. Woods' patents were unsuccessfully challenged by Thomas Edison twice.
