This is what happens in socialism, the politicians and their cronies control education. The public educational system is designed to produce welfare recipients that are dependent on the government of all of their needs, not academic intellects. Academic intellects can provide for themselves because they have the skills, knowledge, training, etc, to do so.

I can see why after reading some of this weeks group project. Some are receiving passing grades even though they can't read or write.

We're not a socialist country. We're not even close to be one of the most socialist countries on that list. Many of the countries that scored higher than us have way more socialism than we do. Do you know what many of them don't have? A high child poverty rate. If you think the spending on welfare here is high, the spending on welfare is proportionally so high in some of those other countries, they have nearly eradicated child poverty.

You left several variables out of your equation but, I'll just stick with two to keep things simple; and the post short.
4. Germany - Birth dearth: 20 countries with lowest birth rates - Pictures - CBS News
Socialists like to raise taxes to control people and population. When taxes are raised people have less money to spend so, less children are born because raising children in a high tax economy is expensive; even CNN agrees! Average cost of raising a child hits $245,000 - Aug. 18, 2014 Look at Japan, #2 on the birth rate list. It has a death rate higher than the birth rate. In around 100 years the population of Japan will be cut close to half of what it is today, around 122 million.
You all so left out how each country labels poverty. The US labels someone that makes $20,000 or less, living in poverty. Beside, no child is poor, it's the parent/s or guardian. No child is born with a job. If it was, child labor laws prevent it from working. Age of majority laws prevent a child from filing out papers to apply for welfare programs, the parent/guardian has to do that or enrolled by default when parent/guardian dies. If living conditions are terrible then the child can be put in an orphanage by court order. Oh wait, I know, lets use the legal age of child, which is 18! Yes! Now we can say that there is a child poverty rate because high school graduates have no skills at anything when they graduate and thus, have to get a job bagging groceries over the summer to pay for college while making less than $20,000. Even better, we can push to have the legal age of majority to twenty six so these, so called children, can stay on their parent's health insurance policy. Your childhood poverty level includes those that are 0 - 18 years of age and possibly, if politics keep going the way they are, include those up to 26 years of age.
The US is a socialist lite country so far. Keynesian economist like to use the term mixed economy because socialist have mastered the art of marketing. But the recent FCC take over of the internet (Roosevelt and Nixon would be very proud) shows a full socialist economy is not far down the road.

What does your paragraph about birth rates have to do with your assertion that education in the U.S. is poor because of socialism? It is general knowledge that when people refer to the child poverty rate that they are referring to children living in poverty based on their household's income. The poverty line in the U.S. is set based on the number of individuals living in the home, so it is not $20k more or less across the board. Your whole paragraph about age of majority added nothing to the discussion. Everyone knows what a child is.

2013 POVERTY GUIDELINES FOR THE 48 CONTIGUOUS STATES
AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
Persons in family/household | Poverty guideline
3 | $19,530
"U.S. millennials post âabysmalâ scores in tech skills test, lag behind foreign peers - KayV - 03-06-2015
For three persons in a household with a combined poverty guideline of $19,530, the income per person in that household would be $6,510. You have to take the poverty guideline amount and divide it by the number of people in the household.
