Every day there's yet another story in the media noting the poor graduation rates and low test scores of our nation's public high school students. With that in mind, the coaches of the state of Texas now want all four years of credits to count toward graduation. Please keep in mind that to graduate students must have four years of the four core classes, plus economics, government and health, PE, fine art and two years of foreign language. I may be betraying how old I am, but it used to be that extracurricular activities like cheerleading and drill team and marching band and athletics was after school. That's what EXTRA curricular means. Discuss.

I am a teacher, a mother and wife and I like to think I am a pretty good citizen. I read ALOT. I also write a good deal on various blogs. I appreciate a chance to respond to what we see in the news. I think that by posting our opinions we can probably find that everyone is more alike than we are willing to admit. Face it, people just like to argue. I would also like to say how much I appreciate having a forum for my views.
