Thats true all the boarder states are going to have low score from people who don't speak English. But I've been there. Dated a girl from Houston. Nice weather and food, general public is dumber than a box of AIDS. How did Gerome Bush and Rick Perry ever become governors to begin with? Perry was holding prayers about the economy in a football stadium.

Texas is one boarder state that is hit pretty hard thanks to Perry. Texas has a lot of oil and gas billionaires and home of the MIC. Puppets are easier to control. I dont know anyone who voted for Perry. Dick Cheney was the real prez not Bush. You should know that.

Shop class is more like ok everyone make a bird house or something stupid like that and practical skills are being left for students to figure outo n their own time outside of school. Musicians aren:t coming form music class, they are coming out of people's garages. Artist are selft taught, foreign lange is usually from private classes, history and economics from the internet, cooking probably form one of their parents or not at all. Banking on the fly or not at all, web design from a freind or a special higher ed course or not at all, and also not very good. Comuputing classes are so bad they have kids doing typing lessons. Thats one thing the internet proved in the three or even two finger method is just as efficiant as the ten finger rigid system for typing.
Computing classes are horrific in colleges. I've experienced this tutoring people in college, and many of the courses are garbage. They get kids learning stuff that isn't applicable. On occasion, a good student rides it out and learns on his own at home. They are the good ones.

Bachelor degrees are degrees that are general representations of your field of interest, with at least 3yrs dedicated to the subject. Bachelor degrees are not meant to be a vocational program. They are meant to study the subject in a deeper philosophical approach to the subject which tends to cause problems for a lot of students (Registered nurses and secondary/elementary school teachers being the exceptions of course). I took many physics classes that had no practical application to my world or the real world, potential well’s or anything from quantum or partial physics comes to mind, but it taught me how to problem solve and think in a general way as well as keep my attention span as I worked through 5 page solutions.

Bachelor degree just makes a statement to the general public.

Masters degree says you want to take it further, unless you are a physics or chemistry student than it says’ you dropped out of your doctoral program. It's a consolation prize.

Doctor of Philosophy says you want to be a player in your field of study.

For example, during a terror drill at a public school in Muskegon County, Michigan, students and teachers were told that "homeschoolers" were the ones attacking them....

"The exercise will simulate an attack by a fictitious radical group called Wackos Against Schools and Education who believe everyone should be homeschooled. Under the scenario, a bomb is placed on the bus and is detonated while the bus is traveling on Durham, causing the bus to land on its side and fill with smoke."
....WHAT?? :lol:
