In international tests of high school students the United States ranks near the bottom of industrialized countries when it comes to math and science. We're way behind Canada, barely ahead of the Slovak Republic. The math/science gap is affecting the U.S. economy today and will do so even more in the years to come unless radical changes are made in the way we educate our young people. Starting Monday, 90.3 WCPN and WVIZ/PBS will have extensive coverage of this learning gap and how we need to transform today's schools into 21st Century Schools. ideastream®'s David C.
