Poor education has far-reaching repercussions, restricting people's professional opportunities, economic mobility, and overall quality of life.
It reinforces poverty cycles, impairs critical thinking skills, and stifles societal progress.
Poorly educated populations frequently experience greater rates of unemployment and struggle to adapt to an increasingly competitive and knowledge-driven environment.
To identify the most and least educated cities in America, WalletHub compared the 150 most populated U.S. metropolitan statistical areas, or MSAs, across two key dimensions, including "educational attainment" and "quality of education & attainment gap.
Each metric was graded on a 100-point scale, with a score of 100 representing the highest educational attainment and quality of education.
WalletHub determined each metro area's weighted average across all metrics to calculate its overall score and used the resulting scores to rank-order the sample.

The inequalities in the region's educational quality are a result of a variety of factors, including poverty rates, a lack of educational resources, and linguistic obstacles.
A multifaceted strategy is needed to address this problem, including investments in early childhood education, programs for vocational training, and measures to raise English language proficiency.

The use of your brain usage must be no more than 15% per day anything more than that will be taxed. New law into effect oct 1st 2023.
Well, the people of Brownsville and the Valley lack the diplomas but they have common sense.
They know how to think, in a logical manner to survive living in our region with great dignity and honor.
For example: you send your kid to study to an IVY school and when he returns to Brownsville he can not find a job. If he finds a job, they pay him peanuts.
For example: every election cycle the educated leaders promise the people loyalty, leadership and integrity. The people go and get their pictures taken and get a food plate. They do not go and vote. They know politicians are dreamers.
Long live Common Sense over a diploma.

So what are we paying teachers for? To live better than the rest of us? The valley is the idiocracy. Takes pride in being ignorant.
Somos pobres. Unfortunately the first teachers of many children here do not teach the children the value of an education. These first teachers do teach about commitment or responsibility either. Pass the buck is the priority of the teachers.
The students in this case refer to their teachers as "Ama" and "Apa." They haven't even been taught to properly say "Mama" and "Papa." Thus ignorance continues to thrive.
Please refrain from insinuating that the students or teachers made this spelling error. Instead, place blame on the over paid administrator who oversees the maintenance department.
Our kids are not ignorant. We the parents are the ignorant ones for not demanding a change to our educational system. We as parents have placed our youth in a bad environment. Our current educational system reimburses the schools for a student’s attendance not for their educational achievements. Our kids are forced to sit in an unruly classroom because the teachers and the administration in general, just care about the federal funding coming in for each child attending classes whether he/she learns or not. Unruly kids who only disrupt and don’t want to learn need to be sent home. It now becomes the problem of the parent. Schools are not day care centers. All educators and administrators need to pass a national proficiency exam. In other words they need to start earning their money. And let's quit focusing so much on sports. The focus should be strictly on education. Seriously, how many of our kids are actually going to make a fortune playing professional ball. All sports need to be either privatized or passed on to the cities. If through my comments I offended someone, my apologies. This was not my intent only my opinion.
Excuse my French but, teacher do teach.
It takes a group effort.
Students learn the alphabet, basic math, government, history.
Then they review the material for 12 years.
In these twelve years, parents help monitor their children learning with their homework assignments.
Spelling practices, maps, more math problems, etc That is how parents relearn everything they forgot with the passage of time. They understand how difficult is to learn something that you do not like.
Some parents teach chores, discipline, values, hard work and saving.
It is hard being a teacher but it is more difficult being a parent.
In college, some students know everything because they have good memories and graduate early or have double majors.
Of course, parents want their kids to be doctors.....for the MONEY.
To have a doctor in the family: you have to teach your kids not to be afraid of blood, illness etc
BISD AND THE BOARD NO VALEN
I SENT MY KIDS TO PRIVATE SCHOOL
BEST DECISION
Teachers here don't teach shit. This is a common fact all they do is think about when's it going to be 6pm and/or las vegas, a pay raise, more vacation time, and more coffee breaks. PERIOD. I had a teacher in annieassputitthere elementry and we spend the day outside on the swings.
COMADRIANDO IS THE MAGICAL WORD AT ALL SCHOOLS.
what a waste of education and money (mymoney)
Fake news.
Students learn the alphabet, basic math, government, history.

this is funny!!!and so true
Teachers a gift from above o o its a bird! chuckssss
Hats off to all my kid's teachers! I wouldn't teach for one day if I had to. It isn't as easy as y'all think. Instead of typing away from home while they are teaching your kids, get off your tooshes and ask your kids' teachers, how you can help?
Believe me all they would prolly ask you for is to remind your kids to go prepared to school, and not be on their cell phones and just follow rules.
that is all.
