This may not be a news any more since we all know that U.S. students are behind academically/knowledge. This is just something with numbers that technically shows how behind we are. However, scientific reasoning has no differences.
I agree that U.S. students do not attend enough years of Physics (for students who take physics), even though there are "few" of these students who excel in the subject, but average, most of the students who took the class are just taking it for the sick of taking the class or passing the class. On the other hand, China students may have the same attitude at first, but since the subject is taught for years, then students may have eventually absorb the subject better, and appreciate it.
There is nothing wrong to just study the course for one year, but is it enough for someone who is just in high school? And is it enough for the students to "digest" what they have learned in such a period of time? Perhaps, when the students start understanding what is Physics all about, the course is done.
For me, I never really understand or appreciate Physics and Chemistry until my third year of the courses during my A-Level course. It's good to know that educators now may want to join hands to find a better way to improve the standard/knowledge of our students.
