Surprising!
A hugely surprising academic "study" of education in Norway!
Well, let's qualify that. Nothing IN the study is surprising. Everything agrees with reality. What's truly surprising is that a study agreeing with reality got PUBLISHED instead of quietly shelved.
Now researchers have checked the grades of more than a hundred thousand students in Norwegian secondary schools to look for a correlation with teacher competence. Their findings might surprise you. Length of education, grades and years of professional experience among teachers—none of them appear to guarantee strong student achievement.Doesn't surprise me.
The only variable that researchers found to have a positive effect was the length of time teachers had worked at the same school. This particularly affected the mathematics grades. For each additional decade teachers had worked at the school, students' grades increased somewhat. So this was only a weak correlation, Schøne said.Doesn't surprise me. If you stay in a profession, it means you're competent AND getting intrinsic pleasure from the profession. Intrinsic pleasure for a teacher is the positive delta of the students. When you see those AHAs dawning fairly often, you stay around. If you're not connecting with the kids, you won't get many AHAs. This effect can be halted by educrats who won't allow you to do what's needed... but in a tight well-disciplined ethnically simple society like Norway, I suspect discipline isn't the major problem.
There was also a strong positive relationship between parental education and children's achievement. Students who had at least one parent with a college education got better grades than students with parents who had only primary or secondary school educations. A previous study showed that primary school grades also depend on the parents' education. The study concluded that social inequalities in Norwegian schools are on the rise.In other words, GENES COUNT. And it sounds like Norway is losing its ethnic simplicity, thanks to satanic EU Open Borders. The "study" can't acknowledge the existence of genes, of course, but the reality still comes through.
