these kids were home schooled.
So it is safe to say the U.S. schools are still crap.
Home schooling and private schooling is the only way to get an education in the U.S. The commies in charge of the public schools don't believe in competition.Comment

What on eath are you going to gain in life from being able to recite obscure geographical place names? How long are you even going to remember them? I know at school here in Sweden a lot of high-chool geography education consists of memorising names of cities, rivers, mountains etc., all of which is forgotten immediately by the people concerned as soon as the test is over. That's what competitiveness and a focus on grades does- instead of teaching you useful and relevant skills for life it makes you focused solely on short-term achievment, with no thought towards why you're learning something, no context, no actual student willingness. Down with grades and competition!!!!

I like that idea. Sort of like how back in the 19th century people carried around a cane to beat people down.
I could have used such a cane yesterday. Instead I just had to cuss at some dude. Man, why can't we all just get along!?!?

Our assumptions about American education are not false, check the national geographic linkOriginally posted by DaShi
Why are so many non-Americans using this article as a claim to America's status as a superpower? Why are they all so upset that anyone even mentioned it? Could it be that their many jokes about the American education are false? Have they lost their last bastion to overcome an inferiority complex? Will this lead to war?
This kind of test isn't representative for a nation you know, there will always be smart people in every country with enough knowledge to win this kind of test. When you do a big survey on the other hand, questioning all kinds of kids throughout the world, then the US doesn't get an impressive score.
