I don't think it is as bad as many make it out to be. Now, I will grant there are those who are ill-served by our system. Our public school students rate lower in science and math than many other countries. I think the single biggest reason for that is the tendency to cover a lot of different topics, but not very deeply.

I went to school in Europe...my kids went to school in the US. The biggest difference is inconsistency. One can get a good education in US high schools if in the right school system and programs...but that is not so consistently...in affluent suburbs, no problem. In the inner cities, or rural and remote geographies...lots of problems.
