Helsinki parents avoid schools with high proportion of immigrants...

  Pasi and Merja recently separated.

 “It was the best that we could do in this situation”, Pasi says.


 The father hardly looks shaken by the separation as he sits in the ample living room of his home. He isn’t upset, because the separation exists only on paper. Pasi and the family’s younger child moved their official place of residence to the home of relatives, but in fact, the family continues to live together.
The purpose of the paper separation was to keep their child, who starts school in the autumn, from ending up in the school nearest to them.


“We left nothing to chance.” More...
