The blog Cosmic Variance<\/a> points out yet another study about how poorly American students are doing in math and science compared to other countries. The comments in the blog post are great as they hash out the merits and failings of the report.<\/p>\n

From the web page<\/a> about the report:<\/p>\n

Over the past two decades, the United States has steadily increased education funding in response to calls from the business and policy communities for improved math and science education. These investments have not yielded significant improvements in student achievement. In fact, average math scores for U.S. students trail significantly behind nearly all countries in the Asia Pacific region. Adding urgency to these data are the recently released findings from the National Assessment of Educational Progress, which found that U.S. middle and high school students have not shown any improvement in science over the past five years. <\/font><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
