Your Kid Might Be Better Off Learning Math In Kazakhstan Than In These States
Unlike students around the world, Americans do not take the
international exam Trends in International Math and Science Study,
which measures how primary school students are faring in major
subjects. However, a study released by the U.S. government last week
shows how American students WOULD fare, if they were to take the test.
The results were mixed. While Massachusetts, the highest performing
state in the country, had scores aligning with the education
powerhouse of Japan, other states like Mississippi and Alabama had
scores that were similar to countries that aren't typically lauded for
their excellent education systems.
