The solution is obvious - the federal government needs to spend $865 billion more on education so we can secure 23rd place.
Our public schools, all of them, are dismal failures. But because they have lowered the standards so much - they all get ribbons.
I would expect Korea to have been higher
Who was tested? Just Blue States?
It’s because they are teaching Stupid Math.
Interesting split.
High math skills not as needed in tourist spots. Lot of waiter jobs. Not as many low income jobs available in tge cold.
Fluoride.
If they could only measure normalcy, the US might get rid of the top of the pyramid, all crackpots.
Perhaps that is why a lot of Americans have no issue with 17,000,000,000,000 of debt. They simply do not understand it.
The US ranks dead last in election skills.
The solution is to lower the bar so more can get over it. Everybody is a winner don’t you know. Huu
American adults’ math skills stop at adding their Obamaphone minutes and reloads to their EBT cards.
In the past six decades, the self-appointed elite edd’s in education have led our k-12 education from 1st to our current low. Now they have the ANSWER to get us back (Common Core) as they make millions on new textbooks. Walter Williams wrote an editorial a while back recommending we eliminate education schools. Note that edd’s are not allowed to set any curriclula in our colleges; they know better.
If you only considered US whites, they’d rank at exactly the international average in math.
No surprise. Golks who can’t do math, or read cursive, are outgrowing those who can.
First of all, it’s the Federal Department of Education and has never been none to be truly honest.
Secondly, unless we are willing to get rid of the Ilegal Aliens in this country, our education is never going to improve.
I know this is the goal of the left, for our education to be as horrible as possible, because that creates a populace that is easy to manipulate and control, but this is just one more reason to be against Amnesty if we want our country to survive.
And they wonder how we write $17 trillion more in checks than we take in in revenue.
