I want to talk about the nation's report card. Right now, 45% of our 12th graders are not proficient in math. 32% are not proficient in reading. Math scores are at their lowest level since 2005. Reading scores at the lowest level since 1992. That's despite America spending more per student than almost any other country. (00:08–00:12)
