Can you elaborate in that? In an international context, Canada appears to successfully play at least to the third quartile (from the bottom), if not the top. Am I misunderstanding the metaphores here?
Just a quick reply because it's a glib answer!
In my province, more than half of grade 6 students don't meet provincial standards for math, which are purportedly the standards required for promotion from one grade to the next, despite being above-average on PISA. I was missing "vs" in my post. It should have read "provincial vs. PISA" scores.
