Why America Ranks 26th In The Developed World For Math (In 1 Common Core Question)

Among the 34 OECD countries, the US performed below average in mathematics and is ranked 27th, according to The Program For International Student Assessment (PISA).

While the U.S. spends more per student than most countries, this does not translate into better performance (e.g. the Slovak Republic, which spends around $53k per student, performs at the same level as the US, which spends over $115k per student).
PISA adds that students in the US have particular weaknesses in performing mathematics tasks with higher cognitive demands, such as taking real-world situations, translating them into mathematical terms, and interpreting mathematical aspects in real-world problems. But there is good news – a silver lining they offer – “a successful implementation of the Common Core Standards would yield significant performance gains.”
What is black and white and read all over?
OBAMA SUCKS!
Looks like a friendly answer to me.
