Rick Perry 10 billion dollar cut to education

Just a memo to myself: Rick Perry and his allies are cutting $10 billion to the education budget in Texas. In September, the STARR tests--a more difficult version of the current TAKS; STARR applies to students' GPA-- will be implemented for high school students. In other words, teachers in low-scoring schools are screwed. More students, more pressure, less money. I've lost my appetite.
