Houston/Texas PING

All discussions I've heard about some of the controversies casts it as "proposals" nothing is settled yet. TEA got their panties in a wad.

Sorry. I don;t beleive it and I believe FOX.

I think they got caught with their fingers in the cookie jar and were planning to do just this but FOX spoiled their party.

I don;t trust Educators and I don’t give a damn WHERE they came from.

They are, for the most part, anti-Western, Anti-Judaeo-Christian, ant-American, and pro-cultural relativism.

The TEA runs neck and neck with TXDOT as the most wasteful and unchecked bureaucracies in the state. The questions ought not be centered around why they are omitting U.S. history from curriculum. The question should be why are state funds even being appropriated to fund its existence. Same thing goes with school district bureaucracies.

There's way too much overhead and centralized control over curriculum and a one size fits all mentality. TAKS is a perfect example. It's a boondoggle, and time consuming for teachers who end up merely teaching to the test and as acting test administrators for bonus pay and does little to actually enhance education of kids in the classroom. Kids aren't any more educated when they leave high school, but they do know how to take a TAKS test.

No Child Left Behind, my A$$.

I’ve said all along that this is being blown out of proportion - some of the things the subjects/people claimed to have been removed have only been removed from one grade level because they are included in others - but it sounds good. I’m sure the liberals do have their panties in a wad over a conservative majority on this board, but they still have the majority of liberal instructors who can teach whatever they want in the classrooms.
