Why Texas Schools are considered to be among the worst........

I read this on another board and immediately everyone started cracking jokes about dumb rednecks riding their horses to school, ect.

Are you people aware that major cities like San Antonio are 73% hispanic??

And pretty much every town south of that is 90% +

Houston is over 50% minority, with 30% being African American.

Dallas has more Hispanics than whites in the city limits.

dropout rates*:
Hispanic students-8.1%
Black, non-Hispanic-7.0%
White, non-Hispanic students-3.9%.

When I was a freshmen in High school we had 1200 freshmen, half hispanic, I graduated with 650, most of the hispanics had dropped out

Most of these kids could give a rats ass about their education, most can't speak English so they take the easiest classes imaginable called {ESL}. still most don't even jump at this free pass at a diploma, they still drop out.

So please, when making fun of Texas and "dumb rednecks", please remember the demographics of our state.

I make fun of rednecks

But blaming "rednecks" for drop out rates is a misconception.
 
From the sounds of it... I'm glad I don't live in Houston.

Damn. I thought Arizona was bad.

I pretty much have to speak spanish in order to get a #2 supersized with a coke. :rolleyes:

If you want Bad Public Schools, come on down to the Sunshine State.
I don't think even Gov. Duh know why they are so bad.
IMO it comes down to No State Income tax and no $ being allocated for Education..

Some Counties in FL are great while others right next door are poor.
 
Blah blah blah....dumb ass redneck dropping out of school pecker woods always trying to blame everything on everyone else!

I don't think anyone is going to argue with you. Fucking people don't even know how to fill in bubbles on a fucking poll. I don't think you'll hear many people argue with you that Florida's schooling must blow.

fair enough, but wouldn't your point be more effective if you posted that info on the site you where you read people making of rednecks?

I don't recall anyone on this board making any comments about texas schools.
 
I've lived in Texas off and on for more than 30 years.
Yes, there's a lot more hispanics these days, but I haven't run into a redneck or a horse in years.
Bubbas....now there's a different story; they're in every repair shop around.

Blasphemy!

I'd rather pay no state income tax and get a shitty education than get a great education and pay state income tax.

Why?

1) I have to get a shitty education for 12 years vs. pay state income tax for the rest of my days in Florida.

2) I did get a shitty education, yet am an intelligent person. Why? Education doesn't come from school. I'm educated in spite of my trip to public school - not because of.

Man,
I live in deep deep south texas, bout 4hours south of San Antonio- and the stats in this area are astounding - we do have a 88% hispanic population- and 1/2 of all adults over the age of 18 have not even graduated high school. But, I am not originally from here, so it makes me look like a braniac compared to the natives.

we must get illegal immigration under control in this country, i think we should follow australia's lead regarding immigration policy
