The PISA I'm talking about is the Program for International Student Assessment, a project of the OECD that tests 15 year-old students every three years. This year the test focused on science, but also included some math and reading. The test was given to 400,000 students in 57 countries. The U.S. did not fare well.
The average scores for our kids were lower than the average for the group as a whole; it didn't matter whether the subject was science or math. We're just not getting the job done.
