Are American students falling behind academically compared to students in other countries?

American students are falling behind in school. One reason is that a lot of kids do not take their school work serious or take their test serious. Another reason is that the teen population is more focused on games and other distractions to do instead of their work. Another reason is that kids don't study enough in school. If the USA was compared to China then the USA would really be behind. Our data is way behind and slow and does not have a far range.
