Even tough Robinson and Sahlberg have different ideas on how education should be, I think at the end of the discussion both can have something in common, they want a better education system for American. After reading the comments of my class mates, I realize we all have different points of view, but I will say that just because there is no private schools in Finland or because education is given to everyone the same way, it doses not mean that its population is going to act like robots, yes they are having a homogenous education but they still being different from each other in the inside, different ideas and different pathways in life, that is why I like the free school in Fireland, to me is like taking off a extra barrier we have to face in life: money. How many of us are super good at school, have big dreams for the future but they are disappearing because we don't have enough money to pay a expensive college in America; or how many students get tired of working every day to afford one semester in college, a "public college" and they just quit.
To me education is not just a matter of learning different subjects or getting a degree to succeed in life, it is how you take those opportunities day a day to become a better person and to be where you want to be, either in a expensive school with "boring classes" or in a free school where they teach everyone "the same way".
