Shift Happens

The video Did You Know? brought home what most people in the United States refuse to believe or even acknowledge - that American students are falling behind. I do think, however, that some of the data needs to be put in context, i.e. simply reporting numbers of people per country can be misleading; percentages might be a more accurate way but could lessen the impact of the video.

  1. You are right that numbers are not that reliable to make conclusions especially if we are comparing countries.
