I can’t speak for all schools in Texas,

There are over 8,000 schools with over 4 million students

But in the district I live in there are 40 schools. Out of
those 40 schools:
18 are rated Exemplary,
27 are Recognized,
5 are Academically Acceptable and
0 Unacceptable.

The school my granddaughter attends is nationally recognized and has received national awards.

And also to note: our area is growing so fast we can’t keep up. It really is ridiculous, they cannot build homes fast enough and they cannot build schools fast enough.

I meet a lot of the public in my town and there are a lot of move ins. Some are coming here because their adult children with (their grandkids) have moved here due to a new job or relocation. They want to be close to their families.


As far a Perry creating new jobs if he became President:

He has made at least a basic start to it perfectly clear......

Don’t spend all the money,
Create a Regulatory Climate that is fair and predictable,
Create a legal system that does not allow for over-suing,

and then get the hell out of way.

So Just whose standards are these? How do the "Exemplary" ones stack up against the crummiest, rattiest, nastiest Japanese school?
