Since most Texas schools are public, they have to allocate space for the auto qualify percent from shite schools in McAllen, Harlingen, etc



This is my plan. Live in The Woodlands and take advantage of the good schools as long as possible. Then move to bumfu*k country-arse Texas where the kids are dumb as rocks and let my kid make that top percentage more easily.

It really is kind of a stupid system when you look at it that way.

But, I don't care what you believe about how good a school district is, 25% of students making above a 4.0 is grade inflation. No it's, ands, or buts about it. You really think 1 in 4 kids are making straight A's (or at least the equivalent when taking AP into account)?

your plan puts your kids at risk, could result in not being exposed to tough courses and competition in high school at the time they really need it, "country" schools as you describe them generally don't/can't offer the courses to prepare kids for high ranking colleges, your kids could suffer academically in college and possibly be part of the bust out group that creates room for CAP and Blinn Team transfers, good luck...

Nothing like being 14 living in the burbs, smoking weed from time to time and finger fricking girls and coming home one day to dad telling you that you’re moving to buttfrick nowhere so you can get into a better college four years from now. Let us know how that goes over
