There have been recent international comparisons with the U.S. and other modern developed countries in the areas of math and science. The U.S. doesn't rank very high compared to countries like Finland, South Korea, and others. Overall, these international findings are present overwhelming data to show that the U.S. needs to step up and excel in these subject areas so that jobs won't be outsourced to people of other countries; which seems to be the trend right now.
I think that with all of this education news that is going around across the nation, it is important to keep in mind of the content areas that still need to be addressed and focused on with the future generations. America is definitely getting a wake up call and no matter what direction we decide to take education in, it's important that students, parents, educators, administrators, and community members become united and take a common stance in the pursuit of greatness in all areas of academia.
