Response: Deep Achievement Problems: The Case for Reform Still Stands.
Stedman, Lawrence C.
Educational Researcher, v26 n3 p27-29 Apr 1997
Addresses the issue of comparing U.S. with student academic achievement in other countries and argues that there is cause to be concerned. Reveals a consistently poor academic achievement record for U.S. students that spans 50 years. Such evidence suggests that U.S. schooling and learning are seriously deficient, warranting fundamental reform. (GR)
