OT: OECD PISA Science rankings - USA 29th out of 57 overall |
and 21st out of 30 OECD countries
But that's probably only because they aren't using IS (Intelligent
Statistics - which takes into account how good the Intelligent
Statistician thinks each each country is). When using IS, the USA is
number 1 in everything.
