An article from December 2010 published in USA Today the Programme for International Student Assessment scores showed, just as in many years previous, that American students are far below the top scoring nations in the world academically. In the rankings America is, out of 34 nations, listed as “14th in reading, 17th in science and 25th in math.” (http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2010-12-07-us-students-international-ranking_N.htm) It was not always this way. There was a time American students ranked consistently towards the tops of those lists. Though times change, what changes can tell us a lot about the times in which we live and those we may be headed towards. (image/jpeg)
