Which modern systems would you say are less authoritarian than the prevailing U.S. system?

Finland comes to mind. Interesting system from what I've read about it.

How does Finland do things? Are there links?

P.S.

I have been informed that the PISA scoring system is a good metric for international comparisons. Finland seems to do really well! I truly know nothing about their educational system, however, or how authoritarian it may be.

I can only find http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8601207.stm in my Evernote, but it's the BBC so it should be reliable enough.
