Education Please

     Elvira Reyes’ article cleverly titled “If WD-40 or Duct Tape can't fix it, it's broke” is about the downfall of grade school education here in Texas. I love to see that people are writing and talking about the tragedy that we call education budget cuts in Texas. I think that everyone needs to be talking about this issue. A whole new  protest should be started to get everyone worked up and emotional about what’s happening to the education system in our state and it should be called, Educate Texas. Reyes points outs that Texas is ranked 43rd out of the 50 states in high school graduation stats and that we have the 2nd highest public school enrollment in the nation! The Texas government has a lot of work to do. I like the fact that Reyes talked about a small tech high school called Manor New Tech High. This is a school that has it’s stuff together. Reyes goes on to mention that "They received around 400 computers and laptops, engineering software, video cameras, and of course a Smart Board for every classroom. They are a Science Technology Engineering and Math academy that is entirely public."The graduation rate at that school is 100 percent. How is it that a lot of people know what needs to be done to create successful education but it isn’t being done on a larger scale? Oh yeah... Money and politics
