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 going to succeed, and a failure to have those skills is going to mean they're not going to be able to get the jobs they want. the world

the program for international student assessment, or "pisa" test, has been given to 15-year- olds incountries every three years since 2000. a way to test and compare performances in reading, math and science. results from 2012 were released today, and, once again, the u.s. hovered near the middle of the pack, lagging in some areas even as other countries advanced. math remains the biggest challenge. 29 other systems had higher average scores than american high schoolers. the u.s. fared better in reading, where it ranked 20th, and in science, ranking 23rd. the best results were in east asia, where students from shanghai, singapore, south korea and japan, among others, placed near the top. pisa results also showed another concern for american teens as well: a smaller percentage of them reached the top levels of proficiency. as in the past, though, some education experts questioned just what and how much pisa tells us, given social, cultural and economic differences among nations. the pisa test is coordinated by the organization for economic cooperation and development, the o.e.c.d. and

is basically in the same place in these pisa rankings.nk that three things show up from these scores. number one, duh. poverty does matter, social economics matter. but the second piece is so what do we do about it? and that for the last ten years, the basic strategy in terms of american public education has been test, test, test, test, test. and that, i think, is showing that that hyper testing of students, mass closing of schools, sanctioning of teachers, is not the strategy that works when you look at the other countries that lapped over us. >> there is two things right now that sit in uncomfortable relation to each other. darrell, you're saying over time we're staying where we have been, but education policy has changed tremendously. the amount of charter schools, you can track all of this, right? we have been trying new stuff, so how do you square those two things. >> a lot of the thing that's have been tried are not addressing the root issues. we have a glaring poverty and inequality problem in our country. beyond that we need to ta

and i think if you look at the comparative data we have from pisa, let's look at the places doing itght. that have a whole variety of educational systems, poland, finland, there are a lot of different practices. the thing that jumps out, they have a lot less poor kids, many, many fewer kids. >> let's look at what you're trying to say, to your point, let's look at pisa, if you look in the united states from 2003 until now, on the pisa test, actually, the poorest kids in this country have gained about 11 points. the richest kids in this country have actually fallen by some points. so the small gains we've seen in the nation have been accomplished by the poorest children. that says, even though kids are growing up in poverty. even though they have tremendous challenges we can still expect that if we have the right school environments, they can learn, and thrive and grow academically. >> they can learn and thrive and grow academically, but what i'm trying to say, even though they thrive academically, that we're producing a society in which we have nothing. i'm very serious, the social mo

. >> today, you know, is like the day after pisa day. so i'm sure most of you filed some stories about pisa and about, you know, the sky falling and things like that, although i haven't actually seen much of that. i saw, actually, a lot of really good reporting under the numbers, and i just want to thank all of you for that. and, you know, we've been through this rodeo before. this is the third or fourth time that pisa results -- the third time in my memory, but the fourth or fifth time that pisa results have -- [inaudible] [audio difficulty] what does it say that the united states is pretty much in the middle of the pack on mathematics, science and english? and particularly this year where there was a real focus on mathematics for the first time in ten years. it says two or three things. number one, it says that things like poverty, socioeconomics really matter because you look at the states like massachusetts and connecticut that did well and what they've done, and you look at the data when you pull it out and try to account for povert

about half a million students from 65 countries took the pisa exam, international tests of 15-year-olds given every three years. >> while 40 out of the 65 countries that participated in the test improved, the u.s. performance remained fundamentally flat. >> reporter: of 34 industrialized countries, the united states is nowhere near the top of the list. and since 2009, the last time the tests were taken, its ranking has dropped in all three subjects now placing 26th in math, 21st in science, and 17th in reading. >> we're running in place as other high-performing countries start to lap us. >> reporter: some of those ranking ahead of the united states are china, canada, germany, poland and latvia, even developing countries like vietnam. >> asian countries like korea, like japan, like taiwan, and now like vietnam which are doing extraordinarily well because they make it very clear to their students in high school just exactly how important education is. >> reporter: we saw that firsthand on a recent visit to shanghai. why do you want to study so much? >> because i want to have a better futu

we gonna find out that the fellow by the name of galileo, who first did that, the leaning tower of pisa. he was reported to have dropped a heavy, heavy ball and a light one, and foom, they both fell about together. and at that time, people thought that heavy things fell faster than light things. and galileo demolished all the physics at that point by showing that, wow, it was wrong that heavy things fall faster than light things. that's only in the presence of air resistance. but without the air drag, both fall together. and galileo couldn't answer the question "why?" and guess who's gonna be able to answer that question "why"? look at the person to the left of you. look at the person to the right of you. now, look at yourself, gang, okay, 'cause we all gonna be knowing such a thing, huh? why that's true. why is it that a heavy rock will fall just as fast as a little pebble when air resistance is not so big to make a difference? why? hey, how does a rocket move, a rocket propel from the sky? is that physics? rocket--suppose rockets-- what makes a rocket keep going? is it something like

pisa found was an emphasis on mathematics.as more detail on what students know and what their school experiences. one thing is that students actually performs better than average on relatively easy questions. a number in a table, for example. they did a lot less well on problems where they had to model mathematics. they took actual situations to figure out equations. then solve it. those are the kinds of areas that other countries do much better on. host: science. interpret these numbers for us. guest: science is somewhat more optimistic than mathematics. the u.s. is tied with industrialized nations. we come in right around the same. a couple of our states participated. they outscored us on average. similarly, they placed among the leading systems. florida is lower than us on the averages well. four asian countries right at the top. finland, estonia, korea, vietnam, etc. is there any difference when you measure the u.s. as a whole? often, we hear about how diverse we are. these other countries are not diverse. is that still tr

this is the third or fourth time, the fourth time in my memory, but the fourth or the fifth time that pisa results have invested in the united states. but what does this say that the united states is pretty much in the middle of the pack on mathematics, science and english and particularly this year where there was a focus on mathematics for the first time in ten years. it says two or three things. number one, it says that things like poverty, social economics really matter because you look at the states like massachusetts and connecticut that did well and what they've done and you look at the data when you pull it out and try to account poverty and you see where the statistics are. but there's more to this because if you just stop there, you are in the same debate that we have been for the last 20 years because the issue is not whether the poverty matters but what do we do about it? so the dominant strategy, educational strategy that we have done for the last ten years is no child left behind in race to the top. that's been the dominant strategy and there have been a bunch of other things

it is interesting to look at the pisa scores, to see where these countries rank. important to kind of take a step back from that. because even while our scores have kind of been middling and sometimes declining up, the level of innovation in the u.s. has been accelerating. if you asked anyone in the world what's the top ten most innovative countries or where would you want to be an entrepreneur people would say the u.s. so there are some things the tests aren't measuring. creativity, inventiveness, drive, whatever it might be. in my mind especially on the math which is where kahn aacademy is more focused it's a global issue where students are being pushed along, promoted along based on for lack of a better word seat time as opposed to competency. they'll get a superficial understanding of basic ex upon ents and moved on to negative logarithms. even though the might have a c, -- or f. opposed to mastering concepts. >> sal talks about how america is such a creative, innovative culture. there's an interesting side note which says that some specialists and economists
