How much do STAAR scores really matter when everything always changes? 348,435 kids took the 3rd grade English STAAR. 49% of them made a 0 on the essay. ONLY 83 STUDENTS IN THE ENTIRE STATE made a 10. That's a test problem. And this is how we determine reading ability?
My daughter's last day of high school is tomorrow. During the last 2.5 years of the takeover, she's lost five teachers during the school year. Lisa Falkenberg aptly describes what is happening to our kids here in Houston ISD: https://t.co/k9pU3mybTa
@gusbova@josephineklee@propublica What's whild is the fact that the school that triggered the Beaumont takeover (Fehl-Price) had been handed over to Third Future, Miles' charter. They gave the entire district to the "system" that triggered the takeover.
"Laura Henry, Andrew Taylor, and Ella Taylor. Current Carnegie family and former Meyerland and Poe family. We support Maria!" Thank you & your family for endorsing me!
“'The district's being fairly optimistic to indicate that the lower application rate is that people are satisfied. That's not what I'm hearing within the community,' Klussmann said." Are you listening HISD BOM? NO. We do not want your low expectations for our kids.
In late April, Arata submitted the paperwork to enroll her two daughters – a kindergartner and fourth grader – in Katy ISD for the 2025-26 school year. This summer, her family will be moving out of the state’s largest school district. https://t.co/dHEtpQmqtY
Parents deserve real choices in education—not systems that only benefit a few. Vouchers don’t create options for everyone, and dismantling public schools like Houston ISD takes choices away. Let’s fight for equitable education for all. #EducationForAll#PublicSchools
170+ Houston ISD schools (most in high-poverty areas) now have no libraries. In English class, kids in New Education System schools use AI-produced texts & study AI illustrations instead of real photos/art. Look at the faces & words in this lesson based on the Harlem Renaissance.
