The Economist – Early Math Counts https://earlymathcounts.org Laying the foundation for a lifetime of achievement Tue, 11 Jul 2017 15:51:24 +0000 en-US hourly 1 183791774 New Study Out https://earlymathcounts.org/new-study-out/ https://earlymathcounts.org/new-study-out/#respond Tue, 16 Oct 2012 19:00:43 +0000 http://www.mathathome.org/blog1/?p=795 This morning I read this article Starting Well: Benchmarking Early Education Across the World.  Fascinating stuff.  The Lien Foundation, out of Singapore was commissioned by the Economist Magazine to create a wellness index to rank preschool environments across the world.

Where does the US rank?  You might be thinking, “Somewhere in the top 10?” Well, you would be wrong.  The US ranks #24, tied with the United Arab Emirates.  This is out of 45 nations studied.  We are very far behind all of the Scandinavian countries, most of the European countries, many of the Asian countries, and a few of the rest of the countries around the world.

Take a look at this study.  What do you think?  How can we do better?
