," : What a surprise! Extensive research shows that, ultimately, state takeovers do more harm than good. This is a political move. It takes little common sense to know that lower-performing students cost more to educate because education is labor- and time-intensive. It is often because of their economic and/or social situations that they lack the informal pre-school education most of us take for granted.
Why is the state not making suggestions to solve specific district problems? Hint: Money solves a whole lot of problems. HISD spends about $10.5K per student. My former suburban Chicago district spends about $22.8K per student, for comparison. I taught 8th grade in a Title I school in another state. Students ranged from overachievers to those with third-grade English vocabulary and reading skills. Grading papers was a nightmare.
