I Never Promised You First Place.

Rotberg, Iris C.

Phi Delta Kappan, v72 n4 p296-303 Dec 1990

The fourth national goal is for American students to be first in the world in mathematics and science achievement by 2000. Although the U.S. seems outclassed by other nations, an emphasis on test comparisons is misleading because of biased relative rankings of nations and discrepancies in sampling and testing methodologies. Includes 29 references. (MLH)
