Just 45 percent of the 2,396 fifth-graders who enrolled in Texas schools after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita passed the math portion of the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills, according to the Texas Education Agency. These schools are failing!(/sarcasm)

put in the wrong grade after arriving in Texas with no records. How stupid do you have to be not to know what grade you are taking?

No doubt the low grades are a result of the trauma experienced from the hurricane. The solution us to send more money. /sarcasm

What a damning account of New Orleans schools. I suspect if the evacuees are able to acclimate to Texas, they will fare better in life. That's assuming that they do want to work hard and do well in their new place.
To: ncountylee
Maybe they were in the NOLA 12th grade but could only perform to the level of Texas 7th grade.

I'm not sure if it condemns New Orleans schools, or the New Orleans lifestyle (or a bit of each). The "Big Easy" might be descriptive of grade promotion as well as the laid back lifestyle that is New Orleans.

It would be interesting to see a comparision between the Catholic and Other NOLA Private school Evacs and their Public school counterparts

You know I don't think I've ever seen a picture ballot.

No way.
The illiterate masses from New Orleans do not trash entire cities and create intense criminal situations.
It is clearly all a plot by President Bush.

A better comparison would be to our inner city schools.
Anyone have this data?

My Dad predicted decades ago that we might end up with Third World style ballots where the political parties become known by their logos (eg Jackass for the democrat party). The 'voters' simply make a mark by the logo of the party they favor.
Kind of the ultimate 'generic' ballot.

If you live nine feet below sea level and the water is over your roof, how long will you live in Houston?
To: BenLurkin
Actually its pretty interesting. I suspect that other States have this but LOuisiana has a ton of Black political organizations that puts people on their sample ballots they pass out to the voters or give to the voters right before they vote. Its extremely important to get on the right ballot. Anyway, what is important on the ballots is the numbers by each persons name. In fact I have seen sample ballots with just numbers. So people who can't read vote by the numbers

That's assuming that they do want to work hard and do well in their new place.It is common for the evacuees in high schools to start disturbances that require police to be called.
The evacuees want to rob and steal in their new place. They have worn their welcome out.
Job fairs have been held for them; no takers!
People in Houston are fed up with them--long ago.

Louisiana public schools are horrible. If you live in a great school district, you might be able to send your kid all the way until third grade.
Then you have to pony up for private school. That's the way it is.

As Dobbs said today all schools are failing because of the illegals kids who are dropping out, I say kick them out.
But Texas got a double whammy with the illegals kids and the Katrina kids.
The only ones suffering are OUR Children.
