[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The AI summary of PISA scores; basically the only way to accurately compare academic performance across countries:
 “ In the 2022 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), U.S. students' performance varied significantly by race. Asian students scored 578 in mathematics, 579 in reading, and 561 in science, placing them at the top internationally in all three subjects. White students scored 537 in mathematics, 537 in reading, and 537 in science, ranking among the highest performers globally. The U.S. overall average was 465 in mathematics, 504 in reading, and 499 in science, with Hispanic students scoring 471 in mathematics, 481 in reading, and 471 in science. Black students scored 445 in mathematics, 459 in reading, and 445 in science. Students of more than one race scored 513 in mathematics, 512 in reading, and 513 in science. These results indicate that while Asian and White students in the U.S. performed at levels comparable to top-performing countries, the overall U.S. average is influenced by lower scores among Hispanic and Black students.”

This is stupid.

You’re comparing results for our high-socioeconomic status groups with results for average students in other countries. If you want to show that white U.S. students are great, you need to compare them with the high-SES students in the other countries, not the average students. [/quote]

What?   This is comparing the scores of all white students in US; WV, Alabama etc included.  US whites scored slightly worse than Japan, but better than Korea, Canada, Australia, Finland, the UK  etc.  Throwing out the breakout by race, the US flat out scored better than Sweden, Austria, Germany, France, Norway and the Netherlands.  US Hispanics performed better than kids in Iceland.

Fact of the matter is, the educational system in the US is doing very well, and there are a ton of smart kids here.[/quote]
