美学生数学能力引担忧

根据美国教育部门的最新统计,在全美高中毕业生中,只有26%的学生有较强的数学能力,同时,只有38%的学生擅长阅读. CBS News reports that America's high school seniors got a report card Wednesday that no parent wants to see. The Department of Education found, nationwide, only 26 percent are proficient in math and 38 percent are proficient in reading. The sample comes from 92,000 public and private schools. The nationwide test is given to high school seniors every four years. Corneilia Orr is the executive director of the board which sets the standards for the test. "If I were a parent and I was wanting my students to do better so the country could compete internationally, I would want to see improvement year after year, and we are not seeing that, so it is very disappointing."
