Unbelievable!

Yesterday the Texas Education Board threw out an English curriculum created by board-recommended teachers and education experts during the course of two and a half years. They then submitted their own version, created by 1 company, and approved it in less than one hour. The Chair refused to allow concerned board members enough time to read during a rapid-fire page by page review of the "new and improved" curriculum.

Unbelievable. Talk about egos and a lack of respect for those currently in the field. And Texas wonders why it loses so many of its teachers each year????

Texas education board passes new standard with 'no opportunity to review it'

Another example of politics messing everything up.
