This is from a British publication......
Around 470,000 15-year-olds across the world sat a numeracy, literacy and science test last year, the results of which inform the latest Pisa study by the Paris-based Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. (link fixed)

The good old US of A ... we're number 14! But at least we're high enough on the list that most 15-year-olds can probably recognize the number 14, even if they can't read and understand the full study. Sigh.
on Oprah this week she said, well rather one of her guests said, we were 23rd and 25th so at least this number is better.
Ah, Australia is 6th place. I wonder where it will be at by the time Aaron is 15....
The only reason that the US didn't finish first on this is because Barack Obama wouldn't let us. He rigged it so we wouldn't humiliate the world with our exceptional awesomeness. That's because he hates America and Real Americans.™
B & RW - On the speadsheet were number 20. I never did investigate totally what the OECD really means to us.
A - If I move to AU will I automatically be smarter?
J - No, that was me that did that. I want everyone to try harder.
Don't get me started on the educational system. It's as or more broken that Congress. In a nutshell, the kids that learn and succeed do so because of parenting. Other than that, this educational system is nothing more than a social, expensive, money wasting baby sitting service.
B - And you wanted back in for?????
This is depressing...However I wonder how football would rank on this list..bet the US would have the highest score, but then again ...we're the only country that really cares about our kinda football...hence the reason why we are also pretty dumb...sports are more important than education.
MD - The proof to that is the pay of a teacher compared to the football coach.
