U.S. Reading and Math Gap Is Getting Worse for Adults, Too Results on an international test of adults' math and literacy skills show a growing chasm between the highest and lowest performers.

Recent news shows US children had a significant drop in math scores. And now this report shows US adults aren’t doing so hot in math or reading either. Maybe better education matters even more than we think? πŸ€” #EduSky
