[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because Americans group all students in the same "college prep" track. I used to live in France, where there are programs for kids who will not go to university -- they can get trained in technical fields and get internships in their field. There are different programs for university-bound kids. The system isn't perfect, but it groups kids of similar ability levels and interests together. Here, "everyone must go to college" according to local school districts. It is ridiculous.[/quote] This is the wrong takeaway. The US administers the PISA test to a broad population of high- and low-performing students and schools in all states where other countries only select high-performing students and schools.[/quote]
