Mass Kids Score High In Math & Science
By Vik Kachoria | December 20, 2008
Seems kids in Massachusetts are right there at the top when it comes to brains in math & science.
Mass High Tech journal reports that in an international test, Massachusetts 8th grade students tied with Singapore for first place in science aptitude tests.
The test, Trends in International Mathematics & Science Study, also showed that Massachusetts 4th grade students placed second in science (behind Singapore) and third in math. Eighth grade students placed sixth in the international math aptitude tests.
We knew there were brains for math & science in this state, now lets see if we can nuture the studnts, coax in to engineering & aerospace careers and then keep them in the state.
