African Americans and Asians Americans are people. I heard that Finland has people (though I'm not really sure). So, their school systems seem comparable. Because after 1st generation immigrants, race is more linked to identity within a society.

Asians perform better on tests when they are reminded beforehand of their heritage because it reinforces their own stereotype of themselves. African Americans perform worse. There are racial subgroups in most diverse nations (including Japan) that have the same effects going on, despite the fact that to a foreigner there would be no appearance on

But to say that in some way African Americans are "comparable" to people in Africa, or to say that of non-1st-generation Asian immigrants, doesn't really seem fair.

Frankly, on a more personal note, I found this analysis to be structurally unsound.

What I take away is that America spends more money on its schools than any country vs. Luxembourg, but doesn't have the highest test results. So throwing money at the problem may not be the right way to fix it. Or it may have some impact, but its going to be like running water through a leaky fire hose.

We haven't developed the right educational system yet. A lot of smart people are working on this issue, and probably the right solution is to throw more money at them specifically.

I see that the problem is not the money but how to use it, the main problem is deciding where to put the money in and i think you're right , and i also think that there are different problems in different parts of the USA. In Spain,being much smaller than USA , they don't have the same problems in a school in the center of Madrid than in Barcelona or Bilbao, different problems need different solutions, but it must be a nightmare to find solutions for each area in a country as big as the USA
