GettyIt’s PISA Day, the day when the Programme for International Student Assessment scores are released by OECD (The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development). As education historian Diane Ravitch notes every time PISA scores come out, the U.S. results have always been mediocre. Did US companies outsource work to India and China because of their citizens’ PISA scores, or because of low wages and loose regulation? Do we have the world’s most expensive health care system because of mediocre PISA scores? Are any geopolitical conflicts solved by whipping out the contending countries’ PISA scores for comparison?
