School Visits

Today I had the opertunity to visit to different types of schools. In Finland you must decide what path you want to take at the young age of 15. You can decide between vocational school or upper secondary. My favorite part was talking to the students. I learned everything from the truth about Santa Claus to real Finnish cuisine! I think that these students are so successful because they are given the opertunity to make their own choices about their education. Even though deciding your future at a young age would be difficult I think the two school choices offer many flexible paths and supports. Here is a picture from the vocational school. These students are painting marble.
