Texas Education/Bush

[Gail Grainger <gail.grainger@TOP.MONAD.NET>]

  There was a story on ABC nightly news about Texas Education, and it was
not good. Teachers have to spend months on test prep, and do not have time
to spend on what they should be teaching. Their SAT scores have not budged,
their state tests are easy, and a high percentage of students need remedial
help in college. Teaching to the test. arrggghhh
   I don't mean this to reflect on Texas teachers. I mean it to reflect on
the state of underfunding for Education, and the mandate to teach to the
test.
