Students in America lacking education

This article on the rankings of students in america and their educational level compared to other countries was really interesting to me. Who would have thought that america was the one who would be ranked 14th, behind Korea, Japan, and China. I can see how this would be taking into consideration their strict dicipline schedule and their devotion to education. I love that they have links in the story that are relevant and also a video that adds to the impact. I hope america does something about this, because i believe that we really need to put more of an emphasis on education and make it more of a priority.
