Not a bad An exchange student from Helsinki, Finland came to the United States and attended Monacan the first semester. Marco Korvent Brummer said that there were many dif- ferences between his native Finland and the United States. One of the main differences was in the school system. In Finland, they take fourteen subjects and learn four lan- guages. He said that while his school is a lot harder, Ameri- ca’s are alot more disciplined; there is more written work, and a lot more homework. The classes in Finland are not grouped according to ability, and he said the homework was never checked. Marco did like our schools for the variety of subject matter. He stated that he had learned many dif- 104 Juniors exchange Foreign Finland — The last week of his stay Marco shows slides of his native land. ferent things, that he would never have learned in Finland. He did say however, that both Finland and the United States required twelve years of edu- cation. Another big difference was the climate; his average mid- summer day was twenty-two hours of light and only two hours of darkness. Needless to say the Finish have a lot of fun and all day parties in the summer. Unfortunately, Marco’s stay in the United States was cut short after he was in an auto- mobile accident, and his par- ents decided it would be best to have him return home.
