This has the potential to be perfect. I agree with the main points regarding education and the affects this new plan could place on our students. Texas already is known for one of the worst educational systems in the US. Compared to other states in our nation, Texas is the least challenging. Even I had thoughts that Texas education system was a complete joke, especially in high school. So, I agree that as a state we need to be more aware and eager to boost our curriculum to start challenging our kids. Many of our kids aren't successful in college because they are completely taken off guard when they step foot in a higher institution's class. With that being said, Texas needs a better plan for many reasons. And I think this commentary above missed a key reason to why Texas needs a better system.
If Texas' education system never grows and constantly is making changes to make it "easier" to graduate then as citizens and workers the economy won't grow. We will be continuously forcing people into college and the workforce unprepared. This will only hurt our system entirely. Down the line, it could affect new innovations and growth because people are dumbed down to Texas education standards. No one will be pushed to new levels because our minimum is easy for everyone. That could be our biggest mistake. Our curriculum shouldn't take a halt, it should continue to challenge every student to their highest potential!
