Victory for Evolution in Texas

I'm really pleased and impressed with the public schools in the Lewisville ISD, especially in the better neighborhoods. Of course Rick Perry and the Leg are making things a lot harder for them. The teaching for the test stuff wastes time, but it doesn't hurt too much here, I don't think. I love the idea of taking kids to historical sites and visiting the capitol. Of course, with kids in public schools that has to be arranged other than on a school day. As you continue teaching, i'd suggest you also consider visits to the Museum of the Pacific War in Frericksburg and The Texas Civil War Museum in Fort Worth. The latter would only take 2-3 hours, but it's pretty informative and inspirational. I've also heard "Frontier Texas" Museum in Abiline is very good, though I haven't visited personally.

Great logic general. Lets not teach to a high level because most kids are not that smart. So, lets make everyone ignorant

you are missing the point. the kids are already ignorant because they are not able to think critically. they are spoon fed data for purposes of passing standardized test and they fail at that. ask bill gates what he thinks about our education system and where the high tech workers are going to have to come from...at the very least, the debate in the classroom would be worth a lot more than they are getting now.
