I noticed all the "white" countries on the list.
I think these lists show the effect of the rise in minority population and influence. The 3rd worlding shows up in these lists. The diversification shows up in these lists.

I do not CARE about lists when it comes to other countries. These lists are submitted by liberal statisticians that are always looking on the "other side of the fence." We don't receive Foreign aid from any other country, they receive it from us. We don't try to break into their countries, they want to live in ours. But ,this won't last long....thanks to Anti-American liberals.

The lists show the decline.
We "print" the foreign aid we send. It's made up 0s and 1s on a computer, nothing more. Like your crazy uncle with no money writing checks to everyone. We're the BROKEST country in the world, we owe $20 trillion.
No, it won't last long, when they become the majority, the country will be as bad off as where they came from.

Great for them, but we have less waiting times, cleaner facilities, more doctors, better technology, etc. Our education may not be as highly rated, but that is our choice. It is not as if we don't have the material available. It has to do with our discipline. If you believe that social issues are more important than morals, laws, safety, ethics, etc. then other countries are going to have better education. Don't blame the kids, blame the parents and the liberals for giving a free pass to anyone rather than holding them accountable.
This is our country and we should NOT compare ourselves to others. Why lower ourselves to their level?

Who's criteria? I think we're turning into a 3rd world minority filled dump. Look outside the bubble, it's nasty out there.
It has to do with minorities not being able to pass with higher standards.
Blame diversification. It's our ruin.
We ARE lowering ourselves to their level so minorities can "compete".

Lowering the bar makes teaching easier with far less interference from parents or administrators but it's not right or healthy for students over the long run.

Lowering the bar is necessary for minorities to have any chance at passing.
It's not healthy for the country.

There are plenty of military schools to send your kids. I blame parents for not making their schools better.

How can they when they are diversified by the government? How do you make a school better when the quality of the students goes down?

The teacher unions have been around for 100 years. If what you say is true, the kids have all been brainwashed, how would you account for all the conservatives that are less than 110 years old?
When your other remarks can be backed up with real sources besides "everybody knows", let us know.
