To better understand how other nation's students outperform our own, we must understand other nation's approach to education. When we better education, we better America.
If America conducted a multi-year, broad spectrum study of education systems of our own and rival countries, we could improve education in this country. By identifying our strengths and weaknesses by examining ourselves and our peers, we could have a better focus on areas we must attempt to improve.
The study should be immersive, including administration, teaching styles, parent involvement, curricula, after school programs, budgeting, etc.
