In Our Schools - in Dallas, TX
I wonder how much longer it will be before Americans "get smart" about education and stop doing what obviously isn't working?...
I found this in an article by Cynthia Izaguirre at WFAA.com:
"DALLAS — It's May, which means thousands of high school seniors across North Texas can almost taste it: their diploma. This month 7,500 Dallas ISD seniors are expected to walk across the stage and make their families proud.
But what if we told you that 75 percent of the seniors headed to Dallas community colleges can't read above an 8th grade level, and others can't add or subtract?"
