Answer :
Concern for their children's education is nothing new to Texans.
The failure of the Mexican government to "create any public system of education, despite endowed of virtually infinite resources..." was cited as one of the justifications for severing political connections with Mexico in the Texas Declaration of Independence of 1836.
In Texas, the first Anglo-American public school statute was passed in 1840, and it called for surveying and reserving four leagues (17,712 acres) of land in each county for educational purposes. Later, the state constitution of 1845 mandated that a perpetual fund be established to sustain free public schools with a tenth of the proceeds from state taxes collected each year.
The 1988 Education Reform Act was founded on the ideas of marketization, or increasing competition among schools, and parental choice. The act set the stage for the competitive education system we have today by introducing GCSEs and league tables.
