I have a quick question about all these educational rankings we here about where America is like 30th or something.

How is that determined exactly? Are students sent to a centralized location and tested. Or does each country submit their own results?

I'm assuming countries submit their own results, which means the rankings are bullshit. Do you really think China posts honest numbers?

I know some group goes around and collects numbers, but even then, you know certain countries feed them false data to make themselves look better.

I'm not saying America has the best education system, but those rankings are probably about as accurate as ratio screenshots posted on GFY.
