[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]http://www.centredaily.com/2013/04/04/3565862/thomas-l-friedman-global-schools.html[/quote] Great article and statistically significant study. It controls for income/socio-economic classes and the U.S.' second and third quartile income students do quite poorly. The test is comprehensive as well, unlike state tests where memorizing format and "teach to the test" is considered learning. "'U.S. students in the second quarter of socioeconomic advantage — mostly higher middle class — were significantly outperformed by 24 countries in math and by 15 countries in science, the study found. In the third quarter of socioeconomic advantage — mostly lower middle class — U.S. students were significantly outperformed by peers in 31 countries or regions in math and 25 in science.',[/quote]
