ELI5: Why is it that the United States is falling so far behind in education compared to many other countries?

Is is bad American policy and politics, is it skewed information based on statistical differences such as population size, what's going on? Does America really just suck at education?

All the money being pulled from education. 

Religion dictated curriculums. 

Poor teacher training. 

Poor teacher pay resulting in all the good teachers quiting. 

Over crowded classes and schools. 

Outdated and out moded standardized tests. 

Oppressive school environment resulting in student apathy and depression. 


Take your pick from the above.
