So I remember watching War Horse on a cruise ship some time shortly after Thor came out when Tom Hiddleston was all over my Tumblr dash and because the ship only had like four or six movies playing I kept catching bits of it and one time I saw in the credits ”Tom Hiddleston” and I flipped out and practically fell out of bed and later figured out he was the soldier with the absolutely gorgeous eyes who promises to take care of the titular horse. This was before I was even aware that BBC’s Sherlock existed.

The other night my brother was channel surfing and we stumbled across a re-run of an interview with Benedict Cumberbatch on one of those nightly news shows (we knew it was a rerun because it was before Into Darkness came out) and as we get to the channel he’s saying something about ”When I was in ”War Horse” something something something” and  I’m just like ”no frikkin’ way” and pop open my computer and check imdb and…

And not only are they both in the movie, they are both in the British army and so in all the same scenes and stuff. And now I kind of want to poke around the rest of the cast of War Horse and be like ”which of you is the next person I will hear about being awesome that I didn’t know before?”

Also Benedict Cumberbatch was sporting a ‘stache so he was hard to recognize, check it out: [link] (now I wonder who that guy in the middle is and if he’s going to be someone important someday and I’m going to come back and be like ”It’s [person]! He was all in the same scenes with these guys too! Why is everyone in War Horse and the British army to boot!?” XD)

hislyra: darthcubby: America sucks at a lot of things. Ok, I did an entire project on this particular infographic just last semester. Here’s the deal: A lot of these differences could be adapted to our school system in america, but there’s also some issues. You gotta remember how tiny Finland is compared to America. Size is a MAJOR factor that allows Finland to require and fully subsidize masters degree’s for every teacher. In 2010, Finland had like around 100,000 applicants for roughly 6,000 teaching jobs. America hires 250,000 new teachers every year, according to a video I just watched called The First Year. Their smaller size and much more homogenous population lessens their need for government accountability/tons of standardized testing. These are things we simply cannot replicate in America. In fact, one Finish educator I read for my research said that NO education system can be replicated in a different culture. It has to be ADAPTED. I’m not saying America’s education system isn’t effed up, because it most definitely is, and there’s a LOT of changes I wish we’d make- including the societal image of teachers (we deserve a hell of a lot more respect) and I desperately wish we’d let kids really be kids instead of locking them up in a classroom to be bombarded with “researched” teaching methods that are actually pretty worthless because cognitive psychology has proven them wrong.  tldr: the American education system really really needs reform and we might look to places like Finland for ideas, but please remember that we physically can’t just copy their system exactly in a completely different culture.  ps. Statistics can be misleading. Their “graduation rate” right there at the top doesn’t tell you that high school isn’t technically required. After basic compulsory education (which is from 7-16), you have the option of continuing the academic route to high school or going to trade school. And unlike in America, going to trade school is just as respected as going to higher education. I don’t know where they’re pulling this particular statistic from, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s that 93% of students who choose to go to high school graduate, not 93% of all students.
