[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, meant to say also that Texas is not known for its public schools and it has so many ESOL students, it has to focus on achievement gap, not high achievement.  So there are factual reasons for the comment.  Not bigotry.  Unlike all the anti-Asian, anti-black, anti-Indian comments all over DCUM.  Wow to you both.[/quote]

That said, Texas has SEVERAL of the top ranked magnet schools in the country. I do not believe that you have your FACTS straight. Texas is not all about ESL students. Texas is a mix of students with various backgrounds, various socio-economic statuses, and language abilities, just like Fairfax. The fact that there are students that receive ESL in Texas does not mean that they do not focus on high achievement. If you are stating facts, then state your sources. This is like saying that everyone from Texas rides horses and wears boots because a few folks are ranchers and cowboys there. We moved from a VERY high achieving district in Texas, a set of blue ribbon schools, and I'd like to see some citations that say that Texas focuses only on the achievement gap and ESL students.
