Both Sweden and Finland joined NATO with the goal of increasing army spending and reducing it on the social programs.

Better to give money to USA to buy one F22 and to complain about darkies being criminals, than to put money to education so that criminality isn't the only route out of poverty right? /s

And of course in Sweden the schools where the residents are poor get less money, aren't as good, and it's much more difficult for their students to be accepted into a university.

The goal was to prevent the streets of Visby from looking like the streets of Bucha.

By allowing private schools to have no oversight from the government, pocket money and teach (or not teach) whatever they feel like? Did that work?

What? There's generally an adjustment to the funding for schools in Sweden depending on socio-economic factors, so if anything schools where more residents are poor get more money.

Try to work as a substitute teacher and see how it's not nearly true.

A substitute teacher isn't an effective way of judging the education system
