Nope, unlike most of the rest of the modern, industrialized world, a huge percentage of us still believe the world is only a few thousand years old and that Adam and Eve rode around saddled up on dinosaurs.   We're a nation full of morons who don't value education.[/quote]

This study is trying to say that no, the Americans don't compare well not just because we have a diverse population with pockets of high poverty, which has been an argument the apologists of our education system use when presented with the international rankings. There must be something deeply wrong with the education system that even our most privileged youth don't compare well with the advanced economies.
