The United States did not make it on their top 20 list. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Probably because Finland\u2019s education system is as far as it can be from The United States. One of the largest differences is that a Finnish teacher\u2019s education is more rigorous. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teachers in the United States get a degree in a subject and a quick certificate in teaching. In Finland, they go through examinations and practice and, even then, only the very best are hired once they receive their master\u2019s degree. Unfortunately in the United States, some teachers who didn\u2019t accomplish their dream of becoming mathematicians or scientists, go into the career of education as a back-up plan. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t be mistaken. There are teachers who only have a certificate for teaching and prepare their students not only for tests, but also for the future. Those few teachers care as much as a teacher with a higher degree. They have admiration for education. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMy teacher, Ms. Jean-Paul from high school, motivated me to broaden my writing abilities and to not settle for less,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/search\/?q=%22North%20Campus%22&amp;_siq_page=1&amp;_siq_sort=relevance\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">North Campus<\/span><\/a> student Jordan Richardson, 19. &#8220;She prepared me for college-level writing.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teachers are an essential part of our communities and futures, so the United States should make teachers hold up to that belief.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cost of living has gone upward, so why are teacher\u2019s wages being cut?
