our students. In 2008 a researcher from PBS looked at education in Finland, their dropout rates are extremely low compared to the United States. Finland is a country that promotes the creative side of children, sees them as individuals rather than a test score for funding. This kind of mentality is why Finland has such low dropout rates.

Teaching to the test- the act of teaching in which the main focus is getting students to pass a specific test. Teachers are no longer focused on students actually learning.
