HURRAY! BROWNSVILLE RANKS 149TH IN EDUCATION IN THE UNITED STATES: THERE'S ALWAYS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT

By Curt Lewis

Texas has four of the country's least-educated cities in the United States, and one of the most-educated, according to a recent study.

A new survey from Wallet-Hub ranks the nation's 150 biggest cities by the highest level of education attained. The city with the most highly educated people is Ann Arbor, Michigan.

The highest ranked Texas metropolitan area is the Austin-Round Rock-Georgetown area which is 10th.

At the other extreme, Texas has four cities in the bottom ten including Corpus Christi - ranked 142, Beaumont-Port Arthur at 143, McAllen-Edinburg-Mission is 148 and Brownsville-Harlingen is 149th.

The least educated in the country, just below Brownsville, is Visalia, California.

If you're curious, the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington area is almost dead center, ranked 72nd out of 150.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. The same applies to the foundation of education. Then again the ones that get educated fly the coop.

Why do you think the BPUB do what they do? Then you have people like El Papa del Padrecito and they feel like gods. Then there is Sewer Rat Erasmo at the other extreme with the totally uneducated Mexican people and he feels like he can represent Brownsville. Both ends of the spectrum.

It's all intentional to keep keeping the poor poor and stupid, while the elite do their unnoticed unquestioned corruption and stay Elite.

But, we have a stupid superintendent who just got appointed the idiot of the year leading our district at $500,000 a year. What a shame and how heartfelt a statistical number for those teachers who work their tail off to help our
children.

AND IF IT'S A HER YOU CAN MAKE IT DRINK.
I FLEW THE COOP.
THE CITY OF BROWNSVILLE WOULD BE BETTER FINANCIALLY WITHOUT CITY LEADERS.
JUST LET THE RESIDENTS PAY THEIR BILLS. THE CITY WOULD BE RICHER. THE ZOO IS ALL WE GOT, MAKE IT MORE ENTERTAINING.
YOU NEED TO CLOSE THE ROAD (I THINK IT'S 6TH STREET ON THE SIDE OF CUMMINGS JR HIGH). FROM THE HIGHWAY 6TH STREET ALL THE WAY TO THE POLICE STATION. HAVE SECTIONS FOR BASKETBALL, VOLLEYBALL, BIKE AND SKATE LANES WATER PARK, UNDER ONE BIG SUN SHADE JUST LIKE THE ONE AT THE JETTIES PAVILION.
CHILDRENS BRING THE FAMILY OUT.
BECAUSE NIGHT LIFE IN BROWNSVILLE, NOT TO BE SEEN. NOTHING.
NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. AGES BETWEEN 20 AND 30 FLY THE COOP. THE ONES THAT ARE IN TOWN ARE TRYING TO MAKE IT IN LIFE, MARRIED STARTING A FAMILY AND GOD BLESS YOU.
AND THE SLOGAN BROWNSVILLE ON THE BORDER BY THE SEA.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. YOU GO TO MATAMOROS THEN GO TO THE BEACHES.
AND BROWNSVILLE IS ONLY USED TO STOP AND GET GAS.
NOW, THE NEW MAYOR AND CITY MANAGER ARE GOING TO CHANGE THE SLOGAN.

Our district rose to highest scores when we had a superintendent that knew what she was doing. We went from zero recognition to top in the nation with all the projects that she implemented based on data. She stepped on many toes belonging to those who were not functioning to top level and so they did not
like being told what or how to do it, especially from a woman. She did not
put up with shenanigans and the stupid board we had at the time she was here, were a bunch of losers who did things that the public blamed on her, when it
was the board who approved of the projects she was criticized for. Fire this idiot and see if you can bring her back and you will see that our district will return to the most respectable one in the valley. Right now, everyone in the valley laughs at how stupid we are for hiring stupid leaders - too many chiefs and not enough Indians y de todos no se hace uno.

The thing is that there are more educational venues than just BISD. There is IDEA, Harmony and others.

Most of the older generation attended BISD but those days are long gone.

Why am I not suprised! This is nothing new. As a comment or above said this is by design. Keep us all or at least most of us uneducated and the few that govern keep abusing us. Yes folks it's abuse. They take from you paying you minimum wages and pocketing the resources that belong to everyone here. Ah but these corrupt politicians and most are face it pretend they are for the people. What have the mayor's, commisioners, city manager done for us. Nada de nada. Ah and don't forget the JP'S....they make thousands of dollars marrying couples and I bet don't even report it to the IRS.So they don't pay income taxes.
And what have all of the past congressman done for us? Just become millionaires and pretend they help the district when we know que son Buenos para nada. Filemon Velo didn'do a damn thing and Vicente tampoco.So people get out and vote all the incumbents out. Give new people a chance. That's the only way you will get out of poverty. NEW PEOPLE, NEW LEADERSHIP...Stop the corruption.

The stupider they are , the less they’ll understand/ ask questions about all the shenanigans the city government and other shady entities are involved in. Stupid is as stupid does. Bunch of Forest Gumps in Brownsville , to the delight of our great city leaders. LOL

Brownsville: first in the nation for common sense.

Trust me, vote for me: Brownsville people doesn't go and vote.

Brownsville : city by the border and the sea: Brownsville people doesn't go across nor to the beach.......unless it is with a friend and at a certain time of the day. The beach is polluted.

With the grant monies that people like Mendez, Martinez, and the Furia woman get they don't need anybody to go to their businesses. The grants are the business.

I had a science teacher that felt asleep every day on the second floor, another one that painted her nails constantly, another that never showed up, another one that sent everybody to the library every day, another one that ate breakfast and another one that told stories. WHAT AN EDUCATION. If I made a mistake writing, it's the teacher's fault.

I just hoid there is a gringo selling advice on how to con the city out of money. He claims he has been doing it for ages, now that there are meskins running the city he claims its now easier to do it. He has an office next to city hall and the county offices. He caters to the rich mojados and local rich meskins...

Rich meskin ex city and county officials have been seen coming out of his office.

That is funny
More charter schools like harmony science academy, promesa and the
Idea campuses yet our scores keep dropping? Maybe it is because these schools are not as good as they say

Mmmmhhh

From the highest 149 to the lowest 150 sounds about right. Let's give them all a good BISD pay raise, lower the working hours to about 5 months. Increase their vacation pay and total days off. Include funding for their noon meals, monday to friday only at that pizza place. Make a deal with that cad company to sell them cads at a discount and the city will foot the difference with property tax monies of course.....

What the hell is the matter with you? Teachers don't work at all. Most teachers are like men all they do is scratch their balls and lean to the left and lean to the right. The lazy ass fuckers...no to digo.

Pos my spouse makes 65k for working 185 days

Your spouse is hitting 50. 65k is peanuts for someone who has worked over 20 years. As a teacher your spouse must suck the big one because they have yet to teach you how to spell. Bet your spouse is there scratching their balls. Idiots!

Anonymous said...

teachers make 65k a year? wow cops make 75k a year. Oh but cops work 12 months while teachers only work 6 months. WHY???? A janitor makes 28k a year and works 12 months, 8 hours a day 8 days a week 30 days per month, unless its a leap year. A field worker makes 50 cents a surco, which is a mile long. He does 20 surcos a day which is only 10 bucks and walks 20 miles per day. He normally walks 600 miles per months at $300 dollars a month.
All junior high and high school students work everyday when at home AND ITS FOR FREEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Cumming Middle School was nothing but a School for Bullies and to learn how to be a Cholo. I have nothing but horrible memories in this School. I'm glad Los Fresnos existed. They actually know how to behave and learn instead of fighting and learning to build a long sustaining criminal career.
