Texas Education

The laws for this land amaze me sometimes. It is not enough that education is so expensive and that school boards are corrupt. That high schools graduate students that cannot read or subtract. It is also not enough that community college websites are hard to navigate and show little interest in helping the uneducated get educated (irony?). No. Texas had to go and pass a law that took away some of the effort that hard working students put out. In 2007, Texas passed a law that affects your GPA when you drop too many classes. That is dropped classes during your entire educational career, not in a semester or a year but your entire life. Talk about encouragement . Does Texas not want its people educated? Or only those that don't read the fine print to get educated? Or only those that can manage the strict guidelines of a whitebread society?

If you want to go to college, read the fine print before you enroll in a Texas institution. Better yet, go elsewhere, because it seems that Texas has no real interest in education. Sad. Truly sad.
