Education in the U.S. has been underperforming and over-spending for decades. American students perform poorly compared to their counterparts in other countries, despite the fact that per-pupil spending in the U.S. is far higher.

This panel also talked about the Common Core and help lawmakers better understand what it is and what it isn't.
