Richard Florida quotes from a WSJ article that describes how successful Finnish high schoolers are compared to other students in other countries. I left a very long comment on this entry, as it’s a topic obviously close to my area of concerns.
Click through to read Florida’s post, and the numerous comments this one generated.

- YuleHeibel: In Victoria, it seems that small 1.0 minds keep censorship alive in a world trying to be 2.0.
- YuleHeibel: Sweeping Health Care Plan Passes House http://tinyurl.com/yasbbsr Still too many hangups on abortion, but at least a step in rt direction.
- YuleHeibel: @hummingbird604 I signed up for that - I'll see you there, Raul. Looking forward to it.
- YuleHeibel: @hummingbird604 That's very sweet (& generous), thx. But I'm at a dead-end here, either I leave or get a job bagging groceries at Safeway.
- YuleHeibel: @NaomiDevine Or maybe it's the other way around (re. shallow grave)? Too little to live, too much to die? Whatever. Island DNA replicates.
- YuleHeibel: @hummingbird604 Oh, I mean Victoria alright. I'd move to Vancouver, but right now Seattle (or US) looks interesting, too.
- YuleHeibel: @KathySierra Totally agree. Came here as adventure, but need to realize it's not "my" place. Wld like to come home (US), actually.
- YuleHeibel: @NaomiDevine Yeah, Victoria is a shallow grave. Its depth is measured by too little to die, too much to live.
- YuleHeibel: I feel like I live in the city of betrayals. And disappointments. Time to leave.
