American students【 C8】 _spend more time in class than pupils in Japan and Germany. 【 C9】_, they get more homework and watch the same amount of TV. The problem, educat

42、ors say, is not the kids but a curriculum that is too【 C10】 _. The study found that lessons for U. S. eighth graders contained topics mastered by seventh graders in other countries. Teachers actually agree that Americans need to【 C11】 _their kids to more sophisticated math earlier. Unfortunately, ex
