Do you promote the Finnish approach to private schools?

Truthfully, they are closer to the goal than Alberta has ever been. Which is certainly something to aspire to, especially by making the need for private schooling obsolete by building the public education system up so strongly. It does make me interested to get into the nuts and bolts of what their few private schools are seeking to accomplish based no how the system is structured.
Before one could say that they promote the Finnish approach to private schools, you would need to assert that you are following how the Finnish handle public schools.
