In the US, cumpulsory schooling starts at between ages 5 and 8 (depending on state) and continues to ages 16-18 (again, depending on state). Norway starts a age 6 and ends at age 16 nationally, and leads the world rankings. But why? Is there a "magic bullet" to fix American education? Not according to them! It's a process that starts with a national commitment to education, and teacher autonomy. Did I mention Norway is 100% unionized?
