[quote=Anonymous][quote]We in the US are definitely not at the top of the pack, where it comes to educating kids.[/quote]

We are at the top of the pack in doing lots of things that are not measured by the comparative international tests.  For example, socializing immigrants.  All you have to do is look at what just happened in France to get a sense of this.   And the Asians have no clue about what it means to integrate people of different backgrounds into one society.  We do this every day in public schools.  They don't.  We are doing so much that nobody else in the world does and no test measures it.  On every measure of success as a country, we are way ahead.  We've got to stop beating ourselves up.  We need to focus on what we see as our needs and address them.  And, we have to let our teachers do this.  We cannot bombard them with idiotic minutiae and picking apart data.  The teachers have a much bigger mission and, unfortunately, the bureaucratic bean counters are clueless. [/quote]
