Sorry Sanders, the stories about high quality education in Nordic countries were actually lies.

Sweden's schools were already struggling with demoralised teachers and declining test scores before the arrival of masses of young migrants whose needs have put unprecedented strain on the system.
Of the roughly 245,000 migrants who have arrived in the Scandinavian country since 2014, 70,000 are under the age of 18.
The majority of these youngsters are Syrians, Afghans and Iraqis who have been robbed of a proper schooling by war and exile.
Their standard of education often lags far behind their Swedish peers' and, in addition to learning a new language and alphabet, they must also adapt to new ways of thinking and learning.
"It's a real challenge," Education Minister Gustav Fridolin said in an interview with AFP.
The Swedish school system already faces major challenges including an acute shortage of qualified teachers - 60,000 more are needed by 2019 - and declining scores in standardised international tests.
The quality of education can also vary significantly from school to school.
A Unicef report published in April showed that Sweden, along with neighbouring Finland, is the country where school results declined most between 2006 and 2012.
The Swedish National Agency for Education blames the decline in school performance on the large number of foreign students who they say drag down results because of language issues.
In 2014, 14 percent of students had results too low to qualify for the second part of secondary school (for students aged 16 to 18), a 10 per cent deterioration on the 2006 level.
haha, now Scandis get a taste of what the American public school system has been put through for 60 years: attempting the sisyphean feat of educating blacks

I'll bet a $1000 that someone got fired for saying that

Good thing there's still private schools here, I went to one and if I'm getting kids they're going there too unless I live in rural area then.

While the other schools in Helsinki were already full of Somalis and other low-life scum, I got the best possible education among the elite.

>70,000 are under the age of 18.
That's some strong implying. Anyway, diversity is a strength yo.

Funny. We admire your schools Finland, even though we are going in the opposite direction by having longer and longer school days.
Are they really that shitty?

This only goes to show that systems doesn't matter, what matters is the people. PEOPLE.
You can't have the best education system in the world if the people don't belong and don't apply for being to far behind.
Swedish schools had good results because they were swedish who had swedish families to aid them and educate them outside the classroom aswell, the problem is that they went to far with their ideals and with feminism in particular.
It's a shame that they let it go to shit just for some muslim cock. SHAME.

longer days, longer weekends

It really depends of the area and school, how many students there are in the class and so on. For example the place where I live now has two public schools, but the other one has more foreign kids and weaker results. A family I know around here just put their kid to the school that's further from their house only because they don't want his education to be ruined with good-for-nothings.
Lot of small town schools quit because there's not enough budget/children to keep them up.
Hippie culture hit us hard and started a low downward spiral, the influx of subhumans only accelerated it.

While that's true it's also true that it's still a relatively good system, a decade or two back it was really an outstanding school system and it's only having problems in some areas it's not totally broken down.
But it's not the Sanders Democrats socialist idea, it is (or at least was) actually a shockingly free-market-like system. They actually implemented a school choice system much like what conservatives and libertarians in this country have been advocating for ages back in 1992, and it worked great at first, until other issues began to impact.
Just always found it ironic when Democrats point to Sweden as a model, I say yes! schools first. and they don't have a clue what I am talking about, because they don't have a clue how Swedish schools actually work.

This "be yourself" culture pushed by the market has gone to far and people started believing in it.
