While I agree somewhat in some of the responses here, I must disagree with the OP as far as the education standards in Texas. Both my daughters are receiving an EXCELLENT education here in the Houston area, where they attend the highest rated high school in the state. They receive good marks, pay attention in class, and seem much more excited about the challenges they receive in school. My oldest one is signing up for the National Guard, and will be receiving a full ROTC scholarship at UT in Austin, and my youngest one is a Sophomore in HS, and is a member of the JROTC in her school. She is planning on joining the Marines after she graduates from Texas A&M. You can't group the entirety of a state's schools based on a few nut jobs out there. The teachers are the ones who do all the work, and as long as my kids show that they are learning, then I plan on keeping them there.
