According to results from a standardized international test, U.S. students just aren’t making the grade. The results in reading, science, and math showed students from China far in the lead, with U.S. students placing 17th, 23rd, and 31st in the respective subjects. In other parts of the world education is taken more seriously, and with funds for education being cut here, and the growing power of the far right and the injection of religion and propaganda into the educational system, we have a recipe for even more failure.
