Right now, at best, it is a confusing situation in areas of Texas. People are scratching there heads, asking questions, and wondering at the craziness. The instant communications resources and easy access being used by the media and by the general public is helping create/drive the confusion and anxiety. Right now for many students, it is a time of finals, TAKS, preparation for APs, never mind the social and extracurricular aspects such as proms and sports competitions. The teams have to comply with the decisions of the school districts and private schools.
