Allowing young people to vote? Any opinions?

Even in Star Wars (or The Mandalorian in this case as I'm watching the second season, so no spoilers please), with all that imagination, they still show a classroom as a line of desks and kids sitting in front of a teacher (in this case a robot)..come on!! We can do better!
An article in Finnish from a Finnish newspaper talking about the current situation in the Finnish classrooms. Please check it (it can be translated and it's possible to get the idea of the article).

In a short way, how would you define conventional schooling to someone who is not using such term? Just curious to know how others would do this!
In your opinion, is it possible to talk about antiracist education without addressing the characteristics of conventional schooling and ageism for example?
The more I hear experiences from other people, the more I'm surprised of how Finland is challenging the concept of whiteness. What might be considered as white in most parts of the world, here isn't. It would be worthy to dig deeper on this for sure.

The biggest critics of self directed education have literally no idea what it is. It’s hilarious to hear their theories about it.
Is it normal in other non-English speaking countries that a faculty of education would host a conference regarding international matters in higher education in the national language and not accesible in English? Asking for a friend
Does anyone else see a problem in here? This is how my university justifies their lack of inclusion of international people and accessibility in general.
Thank you for the feedback. Indeed #StudioLipasto discussions are mainly aimed for wider Finnish-speaking audiences. Sometimes we do English only broadcasts like we did about climate change in February. We try to balance & be creative. youtube.com/watch?v=0U0SV3FL…
Link to a report regarding hate issues towards inmigrants in Finland. You won't hear about these things when they talk about Finnish education. Do you think Finnish education is doing anything regarding these matters?

Words from a Finnish educator regarding their working conditions. Teachers in Finland are on a strike for the second time this term.Meanwhile, all one can listen from outside of Finland is that teachers are respected professionals and many other myths. Let's face the reality.
And I wonder, where do they get this information regarding Finland from?
