"we need to get rid of this centuries-old model where students are passively learning"

Some things work.

Of all the experiments that have been tried, none seem to really do better.

Hint: The Finns themselves take a very boring and classical approach. They start late, they have highly paid teachers etc. etc..

They were never 'progressive' they were more 'antiquated' than anything - just focusing on the basics and doing it well.

I'm really weary about this change, it should be tested before anything.

Some things require a structured approach in terms of thinking.
