Also, one thing private schools especially the top tier schools like to show is a low acceptance rate. Increased applicants for the high schools with same class size will help them.W said:
private schools also don't want to bring in the riff-raff
that's one of the attractions of private school -- less of that

i don't think that running good schools into the ground in order to demonstrate that they system needs to be overhauled is a good strategy.Quote:
Miles seems to be doing a good job of "blowing things up"

That's the problem. As long as you school isn't impacted, to hell with the majority. Just like several hundred thousand families didn't like HISD failing their kids, now everyone gets to suffer to tear it all down just to hit the minimum.
So you can move your kids or recognize the problem was the administration that got you here and segregated schools (good vs bad) and the path forward isn't going to be fun.
His job is to be the hated hatchet man that's needed. Blow it all up, evaluate and implement changes needed, and then get replaced by someone less hated that can build it back up better.
so, the majority that are the most affected by the current state of HISD and haven't mobilized to enact change are going to suddenly start caring? and the minority of people in good schools have been the ones holding the system down?Quote:

This is nonsense. The magnet program you seem to dislike so much is the only thing keeping the kids from being relegated to their neighborhood school.
The idea that we're going to blow everything up and end up with strong and equal schools is a pipe dream. Will be a race to the bottom.
In a year or two when Miles is gone and it's still a complete **** hole (but they've run off the families that actually support the schools), we can all scratch our heads and wonder what went wrong.
I look at the segregated schools - magnet program similar to college - Lamar vs. TAMU - TAMU vs MITAgLA06 said:RK said:

"When making decisions about school leaders, the first and in some ways, most critical piece of data HISD evaluates is the quality of a school. In most cases, if a school has an A or B rating, that is a strong indication that the principal is creating the kind of learning environment students need," the statement said. "When a school is rated C or lower, it often means the school is not serving students well on a consistent basis. And where campuses are not meeting the needs of all kids, HISD must examine what is happening at the school. That starts with the school's leadership."
It's something Berry said she agrees with but doesn't think the district is looking at the whole picture beyond STAAR testing scores.
"But I also think we need to think about what's happening in the education system in Texas in general," Berry said. "We have to take into account COVID."
so this gal is good riddens huh? Speaking from experience?AgLiving06 said:

First, teachers unions in Texas don't have that much power. They can bark, but they can't bite. Second, principals are probably the administrators that unions go after the most. I wouldn't assume they are on the same team.
Exactly. Socioeconomic factors and parental involvement play a much higher part in student success than does campus and classroom leadership.Diggity said:
If you look at the schools budgets per student, the lower performing schools tend to get more money already...so I'm not buying the "Mercedes vs Ford" analogy.
The difference is the student makeup and the parent support/involvement. No amount of tinkering from Miles is going to cause parents to become more active.

HISD has not had many good schools in decades.cone said:
also a strong correlation between those signs and him actively ****ing up good schools
