“While I think it’s absurd to compare everything a nation of 300 million people do to, say, Norway, our system is nevertheless deeply flawed, our scores are substandard in many categories, and our dropout rates are becoming epidemic in some localities.”
Other countries often seperate poorer performing students from regular students and exclude them from their statistice, exaggerating the success of their education system as a result when compared to ours. Still, our system continues to struggle with increasing government meddling.
Meant to say statistics.
Correct.
