Not about preparing the students...it's about numbers. - Teacher Secondary School Houston ISD Employee Review

Inconsiderate principals. All about testing. All about getting ahead. Inconsistency. Poor Execution. The leader of the pack is a white male who has lived a priviledged life since birth. How are you supposed to support students who do not look like you or share the same background as you to lead? Teachers treated as pawns. Students lack conceptual understanding due to so much testing. This forces teachers to "teach to the test". Data pitfalls. There is a partnership with a local institution of higher education...but you can't take that degree anywhere but Texas. No one else has heard of that school.
