Then we have the Leave no child behind theme. Sounds good. Thumbs up to the conservative that came up with that line. We certainly must recall the feather in George Bush's cap on education reform throughout Texas. Another thumbs up. And how Bush would bring that education reform to the whole US. Another thumbs up. Here's your entry to the whole series by the Dallas Morning News. dallasnews.com Here's a snippet of one of the articles you'll find... dallasnews.com Dropout study paints worse picture than state Criticized report shows just over half of DISD students graduate 11/15/2001 By JOSHUA BENTON / The Dallas Morning News Barely half of all high school students in Dallas and Fort Worth schools graduate, according to a new study by a conservative think tank. That includes less than 40 percent of Latino students. Those numbers are sharply different from the numbers reported by the Texas Education Agency, which says 75 percent of Dallas students graduate within four years, including 67 percent of Latinos. But Dallas officials acknowledge that state data may underestimate the size of the problem. .......... ****************************************** The best you can say about the Leave no child behind theme in Dallas-Fort Worth is that it's business friendly education. You've got nearly half of the kids with no training and no high school education. It ensures that business has an ample supply of unskilled, minimum wage labor. Low wages is good for business, which is good for the economy....after all, that's the reason conservatives fight raising minimum wage. Leave no child behind? Heck, in DFW they leave half of them behind and just rig the data so it doesn't look so bad and put a faked feather in Bush's cap....then trot how the conservatives that proclaim the great success. jttmab
