It shouldn't come as a surprise

The results of the science part of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) are in and they are as discouraging as previous results in reading and math. Twelfth-graders scored 147, eighth-graders 148 and fourth-graders 151 - on a scale of 0 - 300. Not exactly a brilliant performance. In 1996, the scores were 150, 148 and 147.

Are you worried about our scientific future?

I don't understand why we have such an arrogant attitude when we are so poor at everything but consumerism.
