That so-called Robinhood legislation you spoke of makes a lot of people unhappy in Texas, Hemplaya. I dislike Perry, too. But that legislation wasn't a product of his governance. It was signed into law in 1993 when Ann Richards was at the helm. There've been tons of challenges to its constitutionality, and the legislature can't seem to find a way to agree on another option. The courts are now going to have to step in and help, but so far we still have Robinhood.

Redlocks, maybe sometime you'll get a chance to teach in both types of schools so you can see why a teacher would feel lucky to teach in a more affluent district. If the realities of socioeconomics and their correlation with IQ trouble you, I consider that a good thing. Those are unfortunate--but well-known--realities. Feel free to research that fact. Here's hoping you'll put your energies and frustrations into affecting change in both education and socioeconomics someday.
