"The United States ranks 21st of 30 OECD countries in scientific literacy, and the US score of 489 fell below the OECD average of 500."

"One-quarter (24.4 percent) of US fifteen-year-olds do not reach the baseline level of science achievement. This is the level at which students begin to demonstrate the science competencies that will enable them to use science and technology in life situations."

Thank Americans for expecting a bloated Govt. agency to do what should be done at home. Parents have dropped the ball when it comes to instilling a will to learn in their kids, and in just not paying attention in general. They can certainly use all the high tech goodies out there right now, they just might have to resort to a life of crime to get them.

I'm not an advocate of home schooling. I just don't blame the Govt. for kids being stupid. The Govt. is to blame for a lot of things, but I wouldn't blame them for kids being stupid just yet.

Is this why Obama wants NASA to embrace Muslim countries as its number one priority?

So we can learn from them? After all they are so more advanced than the U.S.!

They are pretty handy with science and technology. Just hand them a computer or video game!
