Sadly, the powers that be in the USA have been dumbing down the schools for many years now. SAT scores peaked in 1965 if I recall correctly; it has been down hill ever since. The situation got so bad that several years ago they dumbed down the SAT in an attempt to raise current mean scores back up to what used to be the mean in the good old days. Tragic!
I wish my grandchildren could attend schools as good as Finland has. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Finland
