"These horrible scores are reflected internationally, too, as the U.S. continues to slide in comparison to 15-year-old students of other nations. Accordingly, the U.S. ranks 35th in math, 25th in science, and 24th in reading. Singapore leads all countries in each category. Hong Kong follows. I doubt that these nations spend on education per pupil what the U.S. does. Asian culture might play a role here too. I know that will rub some liberal apologists the wrong way, but too bad. I care about our kids' prospects to reach their God-given potential.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, we spend $648 billion a year on education. We are getting nearly no return on our investment. Yet, all we ever hear from school officials and education advocates is that we need to increase school spending. Why? So we can produce more kids who cannot read?"
There's An Educational Crisis in the US. Does Anybody Care?
interesting story
MATH AND READING SCORES for fourth- and eighth-graders in the United States dropped since 2017, and the decrease in reading achievement has government researchers particularly concerned.
yeah Trump became president that year
Washington, D.C., was the only place where students posted gains in three out of the four grade-subject combinations.
one of the most solid democrats places in the US.
includes a break-out of student achievement in 27 large urban school districts.
black, Hispanic, Native American and white students in fourth and eighth grades scored lower in reading in 2019 compared to 2017.
Still
"The assessment is designed to tell you what, not why," she added. "Why is something the data cannot tell you."
Yeah interesting story that records data but cannot tell you why
Still it was 4th and 8th graders in Math and Reading that they gathered data
Best States rankings by US News & World Report.
Based on the latest data, Massachusetts was found to have the best public schools in America. The state was ranked first in math and reading scores and within the top 10 for college readiness and preschool enrollment. The state did, however, just rank 13th in terms of high school graduation rates.
New Jersey, New Hampshire were rated next
A more likely reason is access to media via phones, video games and cable
The top 10 states in terms of the best public schools based on this list are:
mostly democratic and liberal
- Massachusetts
- New Jersey
- New Hampshire
- Vermont
- Connecticut
- Indiana
- Illinois
- Virginia
- Nebraska
- Pennsylvania
Still you can guess which states consistently ranted in the lower tier
And another brilliant mind attempting to spin the truth.
The scores cover fourth through eighth grades, moron.
And....."no progress from the first NAEP administration almost 30 years ago," she said.
You must be a government school grad, huh?
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD, has made a list of the world’s most educated countries

drum roll
- Canada
- Japan
- Israel
- Korea
- United Kingdom
- United States
- Australia
- Finland
- Norway
- Luxembourg
I do notice that you do like to scream a lot when you run out of the room but relax the US is doing well in education
Singapore is not threat
The number you think are meaningful can be easily manipulated by number of people. Poor VS Rich and variety of factors that you don't bother to look at but just jump to conclusions
Why is Japan number one.
Manners before knowledge. In Japanese schools, the students don’t take any exams until they reach the age of 10. They just take small tests. It is believed that the goal for the first 3 years of school is not to judge the child’s knowledge or learning, but to establish good manners and to develop their character.
different than in the the US
The students clean their school themselves. They work in teams and help each other even in menial tasks
Almost all junior high schools require their students to wear school uniforms.
Does it make a difference it seems to
Why is Israel number 2 well that is also another story
Moron well when look in the mirror that is not what I see but hey look in the mirror and tell us what you see
You must be a government school grad, huh?
Well I graduate from something but that is irrelevant
try to focus on your points instead of sticking your tongue out and blaming others
US students remain at average when compared internationally.
The syntax revealed in your post puts you at an even lower level of competence.
You're fine with that.
I'm not.
What more is there to say?
