K-12 funding

I commented on What the heck is goin' on in Texas'? post regarding house-bill 4 being passed. The bill pertains to K-12 funding and investing around $130 in educational funding. My comment is as followed: Educational funding is extremely important and it's truly embarrassing that Texas has lacked interest in devoting time and money into tomorrow's future. I agree with the unfortunate side of this, that it isn't helping any current students. However, the voting turn out on this is amazing! Compared to our past regarding education it's nice to see the majority care about K-12 education. The statement concerning teaching beyond prepping the students for a standardized test couldn't be more accurate. If we could utilize that $1,500 per student into what the students are actually learning, that would be so beneficial to the next generation.
