No, the fundamental question is whether our own local public schools are any good or not.  In comparison to US national averages, they are horrendous.  And, in turn, if we compare US national averages to international averages, we aren't even doing all that well there, either[/quote]

If that's the question you're interested in, that's fine, of course!

But other PPs (I assume) were addressing other questions.

Do the data support the idea that the educational outcome of DCPS as a whole is bad? Yes (although I don't know how DCPS compares to other public school systems in the US with comparable demographics).

Do the data support the idea that the educational outcome of the US public school system, as a whole, is worse than the educational outcome of public school systems in many wealthy European countries? Yes (although cross-country comparisons are always tricky).

Do the data support the idea that public schools in the US, as a whole, are worse than they used to be? No.[/quote]
