Thanks for that, Elton.

I was under the impression that Pisa was in Italy, Pauper. Why would an Italian study be looking at young Germans?

In this case, Pisa is an acronym for 'Programme for International Student assessment", a programme started by the OECD. It assesses how well 15-year-olds in participating industrial countries do in reading and mathematical and scientific knowledge.

Well, the German results were not that good, generally leading to the belief that German culture will perish some time during the next week.
Generally, Finnland had the best results in 2003. The UK also participated, though I don't know how well it did.

Badly, commentators have moaned that UK culture will perish sometime next week... My (numerous) French colleagues at work were mystified and kept asking what UK culture so maybe it happened already....

Well, at least we're not completely buried under the weight of katanas and yakuza, even if we are groaning beneath several tonnes of American accents
