Texas Education Not A Top 25 Team

Texas Education Does Not Warrant A Bowl Game, if our education was a football team we wouldn't rate as a top 25 team. The best go to bowl games , the best education system guarantees a healthy economy. The recent special session of the Texas legislature passed a budget that would drastically cut education in the state of Texas' public schools.


Our economy is bad and as a result our public schools will lose 4 billion dollars in state funding.In order to balance the budget, we in the state of Texas have decided to balance the budget on the backs of 3rd graders. 3rd graders should only need to balance their backpacks.


For us to compete in the United States , and yes around the globe we have to educate our children. We need to do better than rate 44 out of 50 states in spending for education.WE MUST DO BETTER THAN THIS....

As a member of the Grand Prairie Education Foundation, I have seen first hand what teachers go through. I have helped raise $$$ money for Grand Prairie schools. We have awarded scholarships to students, we have provided $$$ for schools ,as we have sent students to cultural events. These are the stakes,with public founding lacking the private sector must step up. We must step up ,because cuts will force our students to sit down.Join with me as we save our legacy, our children. Support the various Education Foundations in your school districts ,the child we save,may be our own.

Now Ed...before you talk about massive Education cuts, you might want to see where those "cuts" came from and how much they really are. We gotta have a beer summit. :-)

Ed, It is likely to get worse before it gets better.

Higher unemployment does not lend itself to voters raising their tax rates. Lower property values produce fewer dollars to work with.

Until the economy turns we will have to figure out how to do more with what we get. --No other country tries to do what the US does with its school systems.
