According to a 2009 study by the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), American students rank as follows (out of 41 countries):

Math 28
Reading 18
Science 22
Problem Solving 29

With this data out there, why Harsanyi defends the Dept of Education is a bit of a head-scratcher. Our kids aren’t keeping up. His assertion that graduation rates have increased doesn’t mean jack sh*t if standards are lowered year after year. It just means we’re churning out grads who can barely spell their name and can’t find the USA on a world map.
