.WASHINGTON (AP) — Teens from Asian nations dominated a global exam given to 15-year-olds, while U.S. students showed little improvement and failed to reach the top 20 in math, science or reading, according to test results released Tuesday.
American students scored below the international average in math and about average in science and reading
Teens in Asia dominate global test; US stagnant
And we spend more per child on education then any other country. in 2011 we spent $7,743 per child two times as much as the Asian countries do

so I don't want to hear any solutions that is about wasting more money on a broken system
First and for most we need to get rid of the teachers unions they are more concerned about stuffing their pockets then educating our children
second we need to pay teachers based on performance and not on tenure like they do every where else in the private sector
third we need to implement school choice let the schools compete for students and when there is competition there is improvement
