American students need skills for a 21st century world, but our educational system is stuck in the 19th. Part of the problem is our fractured system for educating and assessing students: A student in Los Angeles may be competing with students in Beijing, but her state and her local school board will decide what she can and can't learn.

Erik Robelen -- If the College Board were to create a new Advanced Placement math course, which subject would get your vote? Applied mathematics? College algebra? Differential equations? Something else? This is more than a rhetorical question, as I recently discovered that, in fact, College Board officials are in the very early stages of contemplating a new mathematics offering.

Jay Mathews -- Almost all colleges give credit for good scores on AP tests because the program prepares students for the rigor of higher education and in many cases, according to research, teaches them more than they would get in college introductory courses.
