Why Estonia's schools are abandoning teaching in Russian | Focus on Europe
Estonia's large Russian-speaking minority used to be taught in Russian. The government has responded to Russia's invasion with a reform to end this. Now, lessons will only be taught in Estonian.

Great idea. Surely punishing your country's children for the decisions of a foreign government will end the war.
What makes you think they're getting punished?
Providing better education seems like an improvement to me.
Estonian is hard, but it is rude to call it a punishment to learn.
In case you for some reason see my previous comment. Ignore it, Estonian is not a Baltic language, lol. I fucked up.
Estonian is 100% a baltic language, but not a Slavic language. Latvian and Lithuanian are also not Slavic.
Estonian is actually a Finno-Ugric language. That's why I removed my comment.
Finnish and Estonian share a root - and I would call both languages Baltic. Latcian and Lithuanian share and equally ancient and separate root - but are still Baltic.
Hungarian not Baltic, but Finni-Ugrech.
You have a point, bit don't carellessly deny them their Baltic definition.
