TIMSS, Rhymes with "Dims," As in "Witted."

Bracey, Gerald W.

Phi Delta Kappan, v79 n9 p686-87 May 1998

Physics and advanced mathematics scores are beyond redemption. However, if the math and science literacy were accurately calculated, factoring in appropriate variables, the United States would be about average. (MLH)
