today, education secretary, arne duncan called it a sign of educational stagnation. >> the brutal truththat reality, must serve as a wake-up call against educational complacency. the problem is not that our 15-year-olds are performing worse today than before, the problem is that they are simply not making progress. >> the tests also show that students in several countries that lag behind the u.s. back in 2009 now outperform american students in many key categories. the global exam is given every three years to more than half a million students. >>> sounds like a dream on wheels. it's in production in our area. 261 miles to the gallon. you can fill up once and drive for weeks or longer. northern virginia bureau reporter, david culver gives us a look at the car of the future. >> reporter: we are at volkswagen headquarters for you. look at the xl-1. this is the newest edition. the woman with the keys is telling us about this. what makes this car so special? >> this is the most fuel efficient car in the world. 261 miles to the gallon. you can drive 31 miles in pure electric mode. >> reporte

education secretary arne duncan called the recent release of test scores showing how american kids compared with their peers around the world. the test is called the program for international student assessment or pisa. 17th of 34 countries in reading, 21st in science, 26th in math which doesn't look good. how do we improve them? i have a terrific panel, joel klein is the former chancellor of new york city's school system, wendy kopf, teach for all and sal kan is one of the most innovative educators in the world and the founder of kan academy and tom friedman the three-time pulitzer prize winning columnist for the new york times. joel you've seen these results for years. what do you think is the big takeaway? >> the clear takeaway is we're stuck and not getting the results we need with our kids and we're going to pay a human price if we don't change, change quickly and rapidly. two points people should understand, pisa tests the kind of skills that the market is going to demand, the kind of higher order complex thinking that in a global high-tech economy our children need to have if they're

. >> something arne duncan has been pushing hard indeed. >> one thing asking ourselves, have are we changedystem to teach kids how to take the test and not how to learn. >> be conceptual. thank you so much ron fournier and susan page. amazon has thought of everything. almost. their plan to use small drones to deliver purchases to your doorstep in 30 minutes or less in the future raises questions. don't worry brian williams and steven colbert are on the case. >> don't take my word for how simple it is when there's this carefully produced short film from amazon. there's the drone picking up the package and flying out of the warehouse navigating through parts of america with no trees, phone lines or building, then landing on your doorstep while your family cowers inside while the blade wielding copter leads. >> big story all over this amazon idea and we've been testing it ourselves, home delivery by drone. whether it's a new book or a dozen eggs, as long as it's under 5 pounds. what could go wrong? if i can impart one lesson to a new business owner, it would be one thing i've learned is my phi

education secretary arne duncan addressed the findings early this morning. >> it is a picture of educationalhe brutal truth that urgent reality must serve as a wake-up call against educational complacency and low expectations. we're running in place as other high-performing countries start to lap us. >> michelle rhee is the ceo and founder of students first and joins us now. michelle, are you surprised by what this new assessment is saying about american students or do you think that this is on track, knowing what you know about where our education system has been going? >> you know, actually it's not a surprise. american kids, their scores have not actually changed since the last time the test was administered, so it's not as if their scores have gone down, that's the problem. the issue is that other countries have leap frogged ahead of us, so you have countries like ireland and poland and as tonia that are scoring higher than we are. so we have become stagnant as a country while other nations are really pushing the envelope and growing at much, much faster rates than we are. >> so we talk

may have seen politico's stephanie simon wrote a much-discussed story on secretary of education arne duncan pointing out how challenging it has been for states to really implement so much of the agenda that the obama administration has supported; charter school expansion, school turn arounds, teacher evaluation, so many of the notes that you just hit upon. curious, are there particular points of challenge that have been surprising or more severe than perhaps you guys had anticipated? >> i think that there is a reality that -- by the way, in one of your articles in september you actually drew some of the same conclusions as i remember. it is, it's hard. and it's particularly hard if in a state like connecticut that had really taken a backseat on school reform for a long period of time. juxtaposition between massachusetts and connecticut, both leaders in education for very long periods of time. massachusetts had been at school reform for about 12 years before we got involved. their graduation rates went up by 4.8% of the time that ours went down by 1.8 %. we've actually turned that around alr
