Finland's Educational Success? The Anti-Tiger Mother Approach. Shorter school day, more hands-on experiential learning, results that rival the heavy grind drill and practice of the Asian countries:
There's less homework too. "An hour a day is good enough to be a
successful student," says Katja Tuori, who is in charge of student
counseling at Kallahti Comprehensive, which educates kids up to
age 16. "These kids have a life."

[edit history]
When the goal is educating children, rather than babysitting them or feeding a legal system with bullshit offenses, you might actual get smart motivated children, and therefor smart motivated adults.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
