Why don't these infographics ever put Canada in the comparison? We're just up the road, we have very similar demographics, two major languages, and a similar history. Oh, and we're right up there with places like Finland and Sngapore... which, I guess, leave the U.S. out of excuses.
For most of my career, I was an awful listener in almost every possible way. I was arrogant throughout my 30s for sure--maybe into my early 40s.

Your info-graphic fails to compare the US' educational attainment in one very important aspect: foreign language acquisition. Coincidentally, foreign languages are also omitted from the Common Core Standards.
