Americans are falling behind because there is a lack of focus in Math and Science. In general there is a lack of focus and motivation to do well in a lot of classes. Also, the lack of requirement in subjects. From the article I read it talked about how California tried to have a set of requirements but the students did so bad they didn't use the results.
The article I read was http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/496867/american_students_are_falling_behind_pg3.html?cat=4.
I agree that science and math are very important, and that we as Americans should take more interest in these subjects.
ReplyDeleteIt is so neat that you wrote about the math and science lacking in our education system, in my blog I wrote that those are the two subjects I feel I didn't learn enough from.
