  It’s an international assessment of academic performance. They test students around the same age range and compare their results to other countries and to performance of previous years.

  The graph shows that performance is dropping relative to previous years (presumably a global trend, I don’t see a specific country listed), but whether the metrics are meaningful is something I’m not qualified to say. Assessments like this are always debatable.

    I don’t see a specific country listed

    That just means it’s about the US.

    If you don’t think the question deserves an answer, then just don’t. There’s no point in being a dick about it.

      Actually, yes there is. I consider it a dick move to force others to spend the time and effort explaining something for which such explanations are already easily found. As such, I don’t feel bad attempting to embarrass someone who is so entitled as to try to make others do the work for them.

    Oh the fucking irony!

    Did you lose track of the written words after the first question mark perchance?

      Do tell, where’s the irony? The questions posed are already answered with a quick search, rather than forcing others to reinvent the wheel.
