The Vox story also includes that in addition to the fact the U.S. educates EVERY child The argument that while the U.S. spends as much or more than other countries while performing lower on tests is an apples to oranges comparison. The disparity in exam scores between the U.S. and other countries is not new. U.S. students have performed lower on these exams for as long has they have been administered. The highest performing students are from countries that usually have very narrowly focused studies, or specialized studies that are rarely the choice of the individual student. But, yet many of those high performing students come to the U.S. to expand their education because for the first time they will have choices that allow them pursue their own creativity. [/QUOTE]
