1. There has to be more to this story

Finland teachers spend 50% LESS time on math than they do in the US but their outcomes are far, far better.

What gives?!?

Although I agree that the idiotic US policy of relying on "education experts" and not on teachers with decades of experience is going to be our ultimate undoing.
