The good PISA ranking of Finland could also be a result of having less immigrant kids than other countries in the comparison. (Before you downvote, it doesn't mean immigrant kids are stupid, but they often struggle more because of language barriers and poverty).

The kids are (often? Usually?) better at reading and writing in the new language, than their parents
