Why Finland Delays Academics (and Still Beats America in Education)

Is early academics really helping kids, or hurting them?

In this episode, I take a fiery look at America’s push for “Kindergarten Readiness” and why play-based preschool actually leads to stronger, happier learners in the long run. We’ll compare the U.S. education model with Finland’s world-renowned approach, breaking down differences in:

Preschool & early academics — why later is better

Recess & homework — why less creates more learning

Testing & assessments — what actually helps kids (and what doesn’t)

Teacher training & autonomy — why respect matters

Student well-being & class sizes — the overlooked key to success

If you’ve ever questioned whether pushing letters and numbers at age 4 is really the best path, this episode will give you the research (and the reassurance) you need.

💡 Parents — you can take back your child’s education and set them up for long-term success without the stress and burnout.
