Mexico Last Place In PISA 2006

Science is not the best subject for young Mexicans. The study released this month by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) puts Mexican students in las place.

There is a big teachers union in charge of these fifteen year old children, and they are doing things wrong. Scientific thinking requires critical abilities, in general these children have been taught to memorize, that is not the scientific mind. Memorization is only part of what is needed, above all one needs imagination and critical thinking.
