“there is no single definitive scale that determines the ranking of nations’ education quality worldwide, though several organizations have published their own assessments. Snopes was unable to track down an assessment that found the U.S. specifically ranked 24th worldwide.”

Typical lying and parsing by snopes. The PISA assessment is an international assessment measuring 15-year-olds’ skills in reading, math, and science.

They said “we can’t find an assessment in which the US is ranked at 24.”

Yeah, because the US ranked 34th.

Then they stopped teaching Latin, Greek, and renamed History to Social Studies. Still later, teaching basic math was an exercise in who felt good about their answer. Later still, every one got As or A+s.
