Texas schools are never ranked very high, but why? Liberals say it’s not enough money, those that live here say it’s illegal aliens. I just moved my Son from a public school to a private school because he was a minority in his class. The only parents that showed up consistently to volunteer and support their kids, were the parents of the non-Hispanic kids. Apparently, most Hispanics view school as little more than daycare.
Texas schools aren’t ranked high generally because Texas has a very high proportion of minority kids - in fact it has a majority of minorities, of the kids enrolled in the public schools.
That said, minority kids (and white ones too) do much better in Texas on average than than the average of their peers nationally.
Texas has been dealt a relatively poor hand in education, but has done exceptionally well for all that.
Another fact: Texas schools are majority “Hispanic”, and those Hispanics nearly outnumber the total number of students in Illinois. Texas achieves similar test results to Illinois with less money spent per capita and with much, much worse demographics.
Haqving said that, the govenment school system needs to shut down immediately. Conservatives need to rescue their children and become responsible by getting off the government education-welfare teat.
