American Students Hold Their Own.
Bracey, Gerald W.
Educational Leadership, v50 n5 p66-67 Feb 1993
Disagrees with Harold Stevenson's article in same "Educational Leadership" issue; Stevenson compares incomparable groups of students and misinterprets data. Although U.S. students rate ability higher than Chinese students, they also appreciate value of effort. Chicago kids are poorer and come from larger families than their Chinese counterparts. U.S. kids perform better in reading. Japanese students goof off in college. (MLH)
