Truth behind U.S. students compared to International students
Recently U.S. News & World Report published an excellent article on why it is misleading to use these international test result comparisons and conclude that the U.S. public school system failing. “…there are dangers in believing that PISA scores can be raised by simply adopting the practices of the high-performing countries.”
The publication goes on to say, “Despite the stratospheric results for Chinese students in PISA 2012, for example, students sent by Chinese families to American high schools ballooned 50-fold from 2006 to 2014. Perhaps we should ask the families of these students why the highest test results in the world were not adequate to keep their students in Chinese schools. Their insights may better assist in understanding the strengths and challenges of PISA.”
