The problem is the poverty a large percentage of the children are afflicted with. If you only count the scores from the schools with less than 10% of the kids under the poverty line the us goes from 29th overall in education all the way to second.
I always wonder why no one ever puts any blame on the fucking students?
I've seen studies that up to 4th grade US students are the equivalent of any students anywhere. It is after that, call it age 11 or so, that they begin to fall by the wayside. Could it be that the problem is more cultural than we would like to believe?
