Still, the 2011 results do show a slight improvement over the same tests in 2007. Back then, the US placed 11th and 10th in fourth grade and eighth grade mathematics respectively, with the nation also achieving 8th and 11th places in science exams. If you're wondering where China ranks on the global scale, you'll have to keep guessing: mainland China hasn't taken part in any of the tests. And despite the fierce competition, the results show that the United States is still well above the global average.

All these Asian countries.

DEATH at the US not even being Top 5 for fourth grade and not even anywhere to be seen in 8th grade

Science my flop country tho

Asians dominating

Mainland China wasn't even included.

Goddammit Asia

The US doesn't even make 8th grade. I'm not sure whether to laugh or be saddened by this.

Education would be better here if voters voted on it and if the government wasn't so consumed in their own wealth and just supplying the army with more and more money without them needing it. Education doesn't affect them now so they don't care but it will affect the country in years to come, so.

Singapore killing it!

Yass Asians
I don't see my country tho

Slovenia, though?

i love Math! but my country doesn't!

Yas my Asian gurls betta show OUT.

damn those singaporeans and koreans STAN for math

Their brains are so much developed than ours...

Singapore is dominating

Those are East Asian countries. I'm not surprised. The Japanese and Koreans have the most advanced technology in the world. Children there are already studying electronics in grade school The rest of Asia, though, have pretty bad education system, I guess.

Yes, preach it!

It's really sad, and we could be doing so much with new knowledge out there to learn but the money is being wasted on generally stupid things not just the army.

Singapore SLAYING
