Amanda Ripley Quotes
The Question Then Was Not What Other Countries Were Doing, But Why. Why Did These Countries Have This Consensus Around Rigor? In The Education Superpowers, Every Child Knew The Importance Of An Education. These Countries Had Experienced National Failure In Recent Memory; They Knew What An Existential Crisis Felt Like. In Many U.S. Schools, However, The Priorities Were Muddled Beyond Recognition. Sports Were Central To American Students' Lives And School Cultures In A Way In Which They Were Not In Most Education Superpowers. Exchange Students Agreed Almost Universally On This Point. Nine Out Of Ten International Students I Surveyed Said That U.S. Kids Placed A Higher Priority On Sports, And Six Out Of Ten American Exchange Students Agreed With Them. Even In Middle School, Other Researchers Had Found, American Students Spent Double The Amount Of Time Playing Sports As Koreans.
