Not Too Shabby: US Math & Science International Comparison

This New York Times article has some good news:

US math and science students performed reasonably well when compared to students of other countries (4th and 8th graders ranked 9th in math, 10th in science of 63 countries tested).

Connecticut performed slightly above the US average, but not nearly as well as Massachusetts or Singapore.  The article also has a good summary of various education reform strategies.

    Hi! Can you add a "follow" feature to this blog? Perhaps I'm missing it, but I don't see one on the sidebar?
