Real Winners do not compete....

shouldnt be taking any break, much less write here, when i am barely half way through my assignment.....blame stangxr for it! He messaged me a link about education...i was intending to just glance through, then of course got caught!

Here is the link!
I am not in a position to say whether the Finland system will work for spore, obviously, i have my own views.

But I definitely can see many valuable principles in it that Singapore schools and teachers should take note:
"Real winners do not compete.  .....................There are no lists of best schools or teachers in Finland. The main driver of education policy is not competition between teachers and between schools, but cooperation."
I cant agree more with this statement. REAL WINNERS DO NOT COMPETE! THEY COOPERATE!
This is EDUCATION
And many of the present day "educators" enter into the realm by competition, focusing only on their 'scholastic achievement' (which is basically exam grades for most) reduce education to competition and ranking, and use statistics to justify their warped educational values.
We have alot to learn from Finland. But at the end of the day... it is those that would and want to learn, that will learn.
