LOL at the American elitists in this thread. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (OECD) PISA study, an international comparisons study looking at education outcomes for pre-college students around the world in OECD member states, found that United States pre-college students ranked average or below average in most competencies measured, regardless of socio-economic background. The proposed follow-up study to look at tertiary outcomes did not receive enough support to go ahead… I wonder why.
