An article in USA Today June 17, 2009 states that the minority youth population now outnumbers the majority in the US. "Minorities under the age of 20 outnumbered non-Hispanic white youths." A country in transition................................
In Education News from the Dallas Morning News
1 in 7 seniors failed TAKS exit exam.................14% of the senior class in Texas failed the TAKS exit exam. Many parents think the graduation standards today are tough..............2011-2012 the standard gets tougher................12 end-of-course exams - three each in the four core subject areas.
Wonder if there is a correlation between increasing youth minority population and 14% of seniors failing the TAKS exit exam?
Another education note: One can't help but notice that we have no real change in a PISD school board that has two new members. You would think new blood new direction, but any board that renews Twi-light Supers contract for any amount of time is mailto:?*#%@^(*)!@$%^&*)*(&^%$#............................................. Twi-light Super should have been given her walking papers.
