:WASHINGTON — U.S. students are lagging behind their peers in other countries in science and math, test results out Tuesday show.

The test, the Program for International Student Assessment, was given to 15-year-olds in 30 industrialized countries last year. It focused on science but also included a math portion.

The 30 countries, including the United States, make up the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which runs the international test."

Not saying kids in other countries don't, but it seems like American kids are way too caught up in their "toys" ie. cell phones, Ipods, computers, etc...
But on the other hand I was caught up in the toys of my youth and school naturaly took a back seat. Oh well, they'll grow up one day and realize they should have studied a bit harder, and life gets more complex. It's natural, and like myself they'll learn it in time. :peace:

Not to worry... They're learning Multiculturalism, Environmentalism and Moral Relativeism instead.
