SMSaifee, I don't know where Canada is exactly but I would venture a guess ( I live in US but I know Canada well ) that they are higher than the US. I suppose all the data will come out somewhere and we can all look at it. Canada is higher for other reasons too: less inner city problems; less drugs etc with youth that drag the overall average down in the US; less experimentation with phonics, the "new math" etc.Parts of the US have the best high schools ( private and public )from anywhere around the world; it is THE AVERAGE that gets dragged down. I hope I didn't open a can of worms, gg. PS : my kids all went to a great school with which I am very happy with: I wish other kids had the same.To achieve that we need to resort to the reccommendations of the WSJ editorial of today: leave ( ie don't tax and take) the school money and the power to select a school that goes with it back to the parents. Let em choose ANY school ( religious or not; as long as THEY make the choice, with T H E I R hard earned money, there is no religion/State conflict;(that occurs only if the State chooses or encourages to go to a religious school);the state can demand minimuum common standards for English,science, math &social studies to ensure proficiency at least to world standards.The rest should be optional to parents choice including whether they want or do not want their kids to have religion in school . I will leave now, gg, and return tomorrow, when I hope everybody has cooled down gg after reading above!! ( think of it maybe we should just stick with NN gg ). TA
