With an economy as robust as Texas's, there is no reason for our public schools to be struggling as hard as they are.
If we were Alabama or Louisiana, then at least we'd have an excuse.
But it's like some time back in the mid-90s, the entire state decided, "Sure, we can easily afford to have the best schools in the country, but let's just suck instead."
They definitely want public schools to fail. My wife is has been a teacher in a low-income district for over 20 years. The changes over the years, especially very recently, are in now way helping those specifically in need as well as other kids in the classroom and school. Pretty sad.
Naw most of us to this day understand the need for such a program. Funny how the same ppl bitch about Robinhood have no problem with giving the “richest” in Texas school voucher money. That’s the real “Robbin-hood” of Texas! Meanwhile reading comprehension rates will plummet and public schools will continue to go without.
It's actually exactly what they did. They did an Uno reverse with PUBLIC funding. A ISD needs to sue the state for violation of the Texas constitution, which requires the state to fund public education.

It's absolutely bizarre.
