Houston ISD reviews

The worst thing about my 8 year experience at HISD was the Administration team. My first principal was a man who did not care about the children. He just wanted to find a teacher to have an affair with him. He also had most of his teachers cheat on the state exams. I am very surprise he got as far as he did. He spoke like he had only a 3rd grade education. He love to bully and harass the teachers that would not flirt with him. HISD promoted him to an Apollo 20 school. The second principal I worked under was female. She was into firing people to lower the school budget. She would even go and lie about teachers to keep her $74,000 per. year job. She too did not care about the well being of the students.

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.
