TX + R + R + R = 51

It's a new Texas brag. We're first!
Oh I mean FIFTY-FIRST, in education.

Congrats to Mississippi for moving up to 50th. The rankings include 50 states plus DC. We are last.
One in five Texans lacks a high-school education.

Total population of Texas...........23,827,328
Adults age 25+ failing high school.. 4,860,774

Perhaps it's time to ditch all that testing (TAAS, TAKS, TEKS) and its baggage?
Let teachers get back to teaching kids
and not teaching for the tests!
