Asians dominating in Math, Science and Reading, Americans lagging behind

WASHINGTON (AP) — American students once again lag behind many of their Asian and European peers on a global exam, a continuing trend that often is blamed on child poverty and a diverse population in U.S. schools.
Students in Shanghai, China's largest city, had the top scores in all subjects, and Singapore, South Korea, Japan and Hong Kong students weren't far behind. Even Vietnam, which had its students participate for the first time, had a higher average score in math and science than the United States.
These results again raise the question of whether the United States is consistently outperformed because of the widely varied backgrounds of its students. Some are from low-income households, for example. Others don't have English as their primary language.
But some countries that outperform the United States also experience such challenges.
"Americans have got a thousand reasons that one country after another is surpassing our achievement, and I have yet to find a good excuse," said Marc Tucker, president of the National Center on Education and the Economy.

My dad saw this trend coming years ago and said "If you aren't at least in the advanced program, you won't match the international kids." Be in the advanced programs in elementary and middle school. Do the advanced, AP or IB programs in high school. Learn a few languages and study abroad in college. Time to step up your game.
