The Smartest Kids in the World

Amanda Ripley was just a reporter who took an interest in the education system. As a result of this interest, she has written a book, " The Smartest Kids in the World." This book explores the education system around the world from the perspective of three forge in exchange students. It was very insightful and informative.  

One thing I've definitely accounted for Finland was that it had a very high standard for their teachers. Getting into school to be a teacher was like getting into Ivy league. I think this part of the education system is very full proof. Although, this will push out maybe even more passionate teachers. Just because teachers are very smart does not mean that less intelligent teachers would not have as much passion. I can say that passionate teachers have truly motivated the most. 

South Korea's education system really invests in the idea of studying and hard work. The whole nation is devout to education and it's described as an "anti-poverty" vaccine. The education system works but it comes at a very crude price; your time and almost like your soul. There was even a murder of a "tiger mom" and the murder was almost entirely blamed on the victim.The whole system takes education to an entirely different level. 

Poland is slowly in the middle of the change and I think they're on the right track for the most part. The education system there takes it slow and will probably come together really nice.
