What Finnish schools can teach S.C. educators
Pickens County Schools Superintendent Danny Merck writes an opinion piece in The Greenville News about what he learned when he visited schools in Finland as part of a fact-finding program sponsored by Public Education Partners, Furman Department of Education and the Riley Institute at Furman. Merck distills his takeaway into four simple principles: build more, feed all, test less, and play ball. His views were also picked up by The Charlotte Observer.
