Hmm--where's that article I read recently about education in Finland? IIRC, teaching is better-paid and more prestigious there and it's much harder to get into teachers' college; presumably the teachers' test scores are also higher. The educational system is considered extremely successful.

I bet Bostonian wouldn't approve of the Finland system, though. wink

FWIW, I agree that a brilliant mind does not a great teacher make. In some disciplines, however, I suspect it helps.
