The students who used their assigned strategy correctly had the highest
scores on their science tests, even when the researchers controlled for students who had better reading skills to begin with.
Specifically, students in countries that permit teacher salaries to be adjusted for outstanding performance score approximately one - quarter of a standard deviation higher on the international math and reading tests, and about 15 percent

Students in countries that permit teacher salaries to be adjusted for outstanding performance score approximately one - quarter of a standard deviation higher on the international math and reading tests, and about 15 percent

In other words, we ask, if a given student's math teacher spent more (or less) time lecturing than his or her science teacher, does the student perform better or worse on the math test than
on the science test?
You remind me of a high school friend who got 101
