[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"The US saw an 11-point drop in average score for math, while remaining relatively flat in reading and science. The results again raise questions about the global competitiveness of the US educational system. On a press call on Tuesday, Jon Schnur, executive chairman of America Achieves, said we need to make dramatic progress in showing educational improvement for students." http://www.businessinsider.com/pisa-worldwide-ranking-of-math-science-reading-skills-2016-12 [/quote] This is a direct result of academic tracking (AAP, TAG, etc). The best teachers and resources go to kids who excel anyway. The rest are warehoused after third grade. It's dragging the whole country down.[/quote]
