The 2012 Programme for International Student Assessment ranks the United States 17 in reading, 21 in science and 26 in mathematics. U.S. scores remained flat while other countries improved, placing us 36 out of 65 countries. Meanwhile, teacher turnover increased 50% in the last 20 years, 33% of new teachers leave within 3 years and 46% leave within 5 years. The cost of this revolving door exceeds $7.3 billion a year.
