Those numbers, if they only reflected private schools, prep schools, and non-inter city public schools, would be seriously different.
And if those numbers from Canada and the UK only reflected private schools, prep schools, and non-intercity public schools then they would still be ahead of the US.

You do realize that you have abandoned me (as well as ALL the oppressed around the world). I am now the sole liberal voice and champion of human rights on this forum.
I feel so alone.
And cold.
Kind'a like the two-month-old lime-jello stuffed with strips of salami I forgot about in my refrigerator. (But with 50% more spicey attitude.)
So, when others make fun of the US educational system for not being up to par, or for US students being stupid, they're not making fun of rich, privilaged, mostly white kids who are educated in private and prep schools. They're really just making fun of our poor kids from the ghettos and and our latin kids from Mexico and South America who score so poorly that it brings our over-all numbers way down.
I dont think anyone who makes fun of stupid Americans even considered your educational system we make fun of you because of things like this,
And also the way your media makes you do whatever the powers at be want.

Umm, no they wouldn't.
They definitely would. Wow - this is almost like a real argument - but without any facts.
All you have are figures plucked from thin air. On the other hand - Frako linked accurate figures showing how uneducated the US is.
Maybe you should start educating your uneducated...Yeah, I know - a radical idea.

Oh yeah, great figures. Bias figures that only take public school percentages, usually - we don't even know how they score it - and never include the private school's and prep school's.... pulease. Anti-American BS if you ask me.
Start your thread, Franko, I'll participate.
Lets see, a youtube video of Bush speaking and Lewis Black screaming on Stewart's show... Wow! great reasons to think we're stupid. I can't wait to see what the rest of the evidence is, maybe a clip of Flav-a-Flav in a spelling bee?

I can hear the sound of you plucking more 'facts' from your arse... You really need to find a different source of information.
Your country is an embarrassment. Now that is a fact!
