If English was good enough for Jesus Christ, it ought to be good enough for the children of Texas.
I'm from Texas and actually went to a regular high school, but every day after school I'd run to dance class and practice a lot and then go back the next day and stuff like that.
If you go to any elementary school classroom in Texas, some kids in there are going to be named either Austin, Dallas or Houston.
The good teachers are bailing out. Education is very important.... This should be the centerpiece on the table of Texas.
Great Schools. Great Texas
I feel like Texas high schools, when you consider the melting pot that exists in Texas, do a fairly impressive job. No education process is perfect, but I think that, with plenty of room to improve, they do an admirable job when you compare them to the rest of the field.
A lot of my family is from Texas, stuff like that, so I was always in Texas, and when you grow up in Texas, around Texas, you want to go to the biggest Texas school, and UT was that.
I got a degree in math, from not a good school in Texas, and then I went to work as a software engineer. Just not glamorous at all.
As a former public high school teacher, I will support whatever is in the best interest of Texas education only after careful evaluation of the Permanent School Fund.
As Governor of Texas, I have set high standards for our public schools, and I have met those standards.
