Feb. 6, 2020, American Education Falling Behind

According to Wikipedia, “the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development is an intergovernmental economic organization with 36 member countries founded in 1961 to stimulate economic progress and world trade. It is a forum of countries describing themselves as committed to democracy and the market economy, providing a platform to compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practices and coordinate domestic and international policies of its members.”

U.S. Students are ranked 17th in math, 21st in science and reading. Only nine percent of American students were ranked as top performers and these students are ranked behind top students in other countries.

Our public schools and many private schools are not adequate. But we have the best cell phones, smartest TVs and fanciest automobiles in the world.
