Yeah Loads Bouillon,
In a nut shell, Finland doesnt have much Immigration, or noticable Class System whereas England does, so we tend to have to teach many people English as a second language before we can teach them anything else.
I have had contact with many Finns since the 80s through Martial Arts, they speak English better than the Natives here, they also arent exposed to the Rap Culture anywhere near as much as we are in England and so dont try to speak like a Rapper, maybe they arent trying to create a derogative subculture amongst their teenage citizens.
England is still a very CLASS orientated Country, Inner City Schools tend to be composed of a very large percentage of Immigrants and non-ethnic British Citizens and the Working Class White population, whereas Country Schools tend to be composed of mostly Middle Class White children, and so achieve more. Not because of Colour or Ethnicity or Class but because of Funding and the Fact that Middle Class Teachers, which accounts for most ot the teachers, would rather teach Middle Class White Kids than the troublesome working class and immigrant ones.
In my opinion the Working Class and Immigrant kids dont get a fair crack of the whip, and in the end its more to do with Good Teaching Methods and Good Disipline, like the Catholic Schools impose that makes the difference, untill England rids itself of the Class System Dogma be prepared for further movement down the list.
Kind Regards, Danny
