[...] Texas House Rejects Education Cuts The Texas House has voted against a budget bill that slashes $4 billion from public education, throwing the special session into disarray a day before its expected conclusion. Go to News Source [...]

Are these people stupid? Educate our kids now as they are our future. It will cost us a heck of a lot more to house them in prisons in the future than it will to educate them now. What is so hard to understand?

Your headline is the polar opposite of your storyline. “rejects cuts”, “approves slashes”. Get it straight CBSDFW.com. Frustrating.

Get your facts straight Teri, most people sitting in prison today had the opportunity to have a good education with some dropping out and others even went on to college (CPA sitting behind bars). Even educated people become prisoners. Cut out all the sports and non-educational programs that benefit every child and you have enough to cover the bills with these cuts, of course you might want to think about lowering the administrators pay at the top too.

Ty Teri for understanding the problem in Dallas. Though, I do not go to a traditional public school (charter school in cedar hill) I know of the problem that affects these schools. The schools are over crowded and education styles need to change. In cedar hill high school, people are cramped and in some cases, students have to sit on the floor. It is a pretty bad situation, and cuts are taking place. Hopefully, our education is not at any more risk.

Sorry teri, post wouldn’t go through. If your school has books and a caulk board that is all that is required to learn. If your proper materials consist of paper, pens, etc. that is up to the parents or social groups to buy. All schools are not equal, but they should be and strictly sticking to the fundamentals of education that every child gets to participate in (not sports, band, etc.). Everyone sitting in the pen had a chance at education yet they didn’t take it, thus only they are to blame. Yet even then they are allowed to get a GED in the pen if they want one. At one time they could even take college courses, yet hopefully that has been cut out since you don’t reward those who do wrong to others.
