2. Complete the graphic organizer in your packet using information from the article below.

3. Read the articles that support the idea that the United States is falling behind the rest of the world in reading, math and science.



4. These articles present how it is a myth that American schools are lagging behind.



5. This recent article presents a more balanced view.



6. Post a comment. What is your opinion? Do you think that it is a serious issue that American students are not performing as well in math and science as other countries? Or do you think that people are overreacting and responding to myths?
