," : HISD is far from perfect. We all know that. But the voters replaced the problem board and a new superintendent was hired. Together they seem to have been heading in the right direction, so the state needs to adapt their takeover to current conditions.
The primary concern facing both HISD and the state is the current one-size-fits-all approach to education in this nation. As a teacher, my daily challenge was adapting the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills regulations to the 30 to 35 individual students sitting in my classes. Some of my students were better with language but struggled with the necessary math. Others were completely the opposite.
Figure out how to duplicate the most successful magnet programs in more schools so more students can be served closer to home. I know firsthand the rare leadership and talent that Superintendent House possesses. I went to elementary school, junior high and high school with Choppa . We competed for first chair on the drums at Academy Central in Tulsa, Okla., where he started his distinguished career in education. I have admired and followed his career with immense pride. It’s the sole reason why I, living in Oklahoma, subscribed to the Houston Chronicle two years ago, upon his selection as HISD superintendent.
