Texas Projection Measure Gone- Texas Schools Grow Fivefold in Unacceptable Ratings

Let's just review. Rick Perry appoints Robert Scott to be Texas Commisioner of Education. Robert Scott came up with a less than inspired way to game the education system in Texas that I call the Wimpy Hamburger rule "I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger I eat today" except, in the TPM world, it was "I will inflate your numbers AS IF YOU HAD A BETTER TAKS score".  I call it "Let's Pretend". About a year ago, after finally the Texas Lege started noticing there was a big ole jump in recognized and exemplary schools, Rober Scott had to take a back step. So, the TEA (Texas Education Agency) got rid of the baloney jump numbers, and THIS year here are the new scores. As you might guess, schools are NOW way DOWN. That's what the Houston Chron said last year.
