PISA: Finns among the best in reading - but not in writing


According to a study conducted by the National Board of Education Finns are good in reading however have problems in writing - "Alarmingly weak" says Helsingin Sanomat.

I've always thought that. Finns need some 'hardcore' action. Every year here we have a big riot called 'El Once' (The 11) in which people remembers the military strike to take the govern back in 1973 (check it out in my stories).

Also in the football derby (Colo Colo : U de Chile) hooligans always start riots in the streets.

Last week a man killed an engineer, but then the justice discovered that that man was a mercenaty hired by a woman who wanted to kill the whole engineer's family.

And finally, the headmaster of the police is involved in a corruption case where he helped theives to steal CL$ 300.000.000 (US$ 500.000) from a bank and get away with it.

Now those are 'true news'

Haha just kidding.. just that finnish news are.. weird :P
