Letter to the Editor from Ohio School Boards Association – Celina Schools Levy

Will all this spending give the United States a better position globally.? We’ve been throwing money at education for decades and continue to loose ground to other countries of the world.

One of the biggest cross-national tests is the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), which every three years measures reading ability, math and science literacy and other key skills among 15-year-olds in dozens of developed and developing countries. The most recent PISA results, from 2015, placed the U.S. an unimpressive 38th out of 71 countries in math and 24th in science. Among the 35 members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which sponsors the PISA initiative, the U.S. ranked 30th in math and 19th in science.

Appears all our tax dollars are not getting to the ones who need it the most, the students!
