That is a fact!

@Sam-jw5vrokay so because teachers underperform the answer is firing librarians?

The library money was sent to Colorado

@jacoh11 If teachers "underperform" that probably has to do with the state takeover and the new leadership hiring uncertified teachers. Hiring a junior college student with no degree or experience probably has something to do with it.

I'm also wondering why they did not mention these most recent allegations.

Yes, sure is. To charter schools in, Oklahoma, I think. Texas tax dollars going out of state. Outrageous.

10 million 😮

Colorado produces negative IQ with their HS teachers, trends up until then

Pro tip maybe if kids are advanced,,, advance them forward so they don’t end up roasting your collective IQ the rest of their lives😂more ons

I’m from Colorado, Colorado should get negative funding for their HS teachers. Not more

Wow so is that his goal. He’s a criminal

@Sam-jw5vrNot true. You saw in the video children using the makeshift library out of a bus. There would be more kids using the actual school endorsed library.

When you have 60 kids to 1 teacher because all illegals get the same taxpayer education this happens. This will become more common nationwide.

@@jacoh11you mean state controlled library. Libraries should be places free from political control

Ironically it was my hometown library that tried to stop my love of history and science. They would just ridicule me in front of everyone for checking out history books because it was the wrong books for a kid to read. I celebrated when that library got shut down and I bought all the under appreciated history books on the cheap (not that there were many). Now they are loved.

1. Those who don't teach, have no business making decisions about teaching. (I disagree, as a parent I've seen how teachers (who remember usually have ZERO experience in any other aspect of life) either naively or ignorantly making decisions for their classes that affect their students negatively. There needs to be input from outside sources. For example, A science teacher needs input from an actual scientist to keep up in the field. Same for History (and especially ideological interpretations of it), and more. Should they have the most input? Yup. But all? Absolutely not. 2. Standardized testing needs to go. I agree 3. Leave us alone and let.us.teach! I agree to a point, but let me tell you it's like pulling hair out trying to get my kids teachers (extremely high IQ, extremely high ADHD) to do anything to try to even understand what he needs. It's a constant fight with average intelligence teachers to empathize, and change methods (that they were probably reared and taught into). That being said, I do agree that the State needs to back off and let teachers teach. But that doesn't mean that teachers don't have a lot to learn as well, and like any other profession, some need a kick in the butt sometimes. 4. This is why I home school. I wish I could, but we simply cannot afford it, nor do I personally think I would be a good teacher to my children. I did terrible in school, it was so frustrating. My teachers all gave up on me. by the 5th grade. When I see that NOTHING HAS CHANGED when it comes to my kid, well..a lack of trust in teachers is justifiable...and in my personal experiences, only the average benefit from modern schooling/teaching techniques.

@@WindwardToEdenI think the problem is that most teachers don’t have time to really help students with disabilities in a manner that would help them. Most students with learning disabilities and ADHD need a lot more time than an average kid. So, it is up to the parents to review content with their child at home or have some tutor help said child. Just put yourself in a teacher’s shoe. There are 30 students and the teacher needs to follow curriculum and pacing plans to ensure MOST students move forward. While the goal is to have all students move forward at the same time, that is not reality. So, some parents have unrealistic expectations. Teachers can differentiate lessons to help different learners but to what degree is the underlying factor. How can a teacher help students for example who don’t know their multiplication facts but the class is now doing fractions. The kid needs to practice daily at home and catch up. Most students and their parents don’t care and expect miracles from the teacher. The teacher will not sit for 20 mins with one student doing multiplication facts while 29 students need help on the current lesson. The student COULD practice and learn on the side, but for them to do this with fidelity is hard. They need one on one support.

Well said, even as bout to be father I agree with you

The sad thing is when teachers apply to be board members and higher administration (they often get turned down or lose to richer rivals who don't even have education experience)

@@Yukosan13 this is what happens q when jock rules and nerds have no power anywhere, akak how society is corrupt today, and rigging the system so only jocks and rich reproduce and population explode and others don’t and intelligence declines, akak like idiocracy film2006, also society collapse to greed by mass robot usage to evade employment payments, and all money to themselves, and discrimination to all forms of “ waste” even as in time, productivity, tasks done in timeframe, enengy, resource usage regulations,etc akak socialist/ conformist policies and their flows with it even if exposed to all

AMEN

Stop taking funds from people like this, and stop eliminating the librarian positions when you are attempting to teach reading.

It doesn’t make sense when he’s saying he wants to scores to be better. How will the scores be better if the students who need extra help don’t get it. Then who is supposed to help these students? Everyone can’t afford a tutor. This is unacceptable

@@CookieC23 the parents?

This has always been this way in the poor communities unfortunately. I remember when I was in middle school we use to have summer school programs for the summer and I would go. It was so fun I was able to learn about different subjects and history but they took it out of the school system and said it wasn’t enough funding

I’m so glad you commented. It’s always better to hear directly from someone who has impacted by changes that may or may not be a positive change.

The states took over minority schools even if they were preforming successfully. This is a way to ensure they have the right color under class. IF they successfully eliminate the number of people coming across the board to work in fields then you do have to have a group of people in this country to do that work. Who do you think that group would be?

@DarkNJuju straight facts! ✍🏾👊🏽🇺🇸🌎

We didn't understand why he was bothering high performing schools. Thats when I knew he wasn't here for the children. He is trying to ruin HISD

@@VeeAlee yep no good.

That's exactly what they want. They want a population that doesn't know how to critically think, doesn't know how to access knowledge, and can't process the information they do find... It makes it that much easier for them to oppress us.

This is Texas...they haven't tried to limit government control since the Alamo.

Looks like Fahrenheit 451’s dystopian future is in the early stages of development too.

That was the point. Houston was not a failing district when the state took it over.

That is the exact point.

TEA needs some serious auditing and investigating!

Too much corruption in Texas government and school system

Isn’t that just,wrong and defunding the public poeple!!!!

Why give all the facts when they can make an editorial instead? /s

That hurts me so much! Obviously, the kids want to read! I wonder who is funding her?

I have never been in favor of them. What results do they actually produce? Aren’t regular testing on the material they already are learning more sufficient? As a teacher you have to pause your regular lessons to prep for standardized tests, multiply that by how often they have to do it. That takes time away from them learning what they need to know to move on. I think basic end of year testing is sufficient to know if they retained what they have learned to move onto the next grade. And they wonder why teachers are leaving the profession and parents are pulling students out in drones. They’re doing the opposite of what actually needs to be done. The answer is not mass production learning it’s individualized learning!

Without tests how do you know their strengths and skills they are lacking?

@@winstonsyme5899 every year assements are given at the beginning of the year, and end of the year which is different from standardized testing, that needs to be kept in place and report cards need to determine if the child goes to the next grade or not along with the students progress, along with bringing back summer school, zero period and study hall.

@@winstonsyme5899 test them on what you are teaching versus what the state says they should know.

@@winstonsyme5899 that is my thought. If the kids have the skills, they should be able to pass these tests. Sounds like teachers don't want to be accountable.

Thats his goal. The superintendent stated to us expérience means nothing to him. Its a script I can have anyone to do it.

Where did you think book bans were heading?

​@@bluevillsplashexactly. They didn't listen to queer people like myself, when we said that that's where the book bannings were going to leave. That they were trying to limit information, in order to make the populace stupider, and easier to control. Hopefully people will finally start to wake up, before it really is too late.

“Where are the students supposed to find books?” Amazon 🙃💰💸🤑📈

She doesn’t care

Of course she does not care. Not her kids she just her to fulfill her mission

This is not the parents fault. They voted for one man and the white supremacy the republican party keeps in power decided that person was not the person he wanted. NOW we have a racist attempting to destroy the education system in Houston majority minority schools.

That's the goal. force good teachers to leave, fill the positions with under qualified yes men, privatize the school system via charter schools. Mike Miles wants to make money, not help students.

The parents already know. This was forced on the district by the state.

That's his goal. He wants us to quit.

Parents both work full time and see their child for 3-5 hours a day. Teachers get 8 hours a day with them.

@user-uz5ko8sv2f Funding is a major issue. To ignore that is an injustice to the children impacted.

It is the teachers who are slower then snails which is maybe 1/3

@@BunnyMan-ec4xgmy parents worked all the time when I was a kid but they were on my ass about school work and getting good grades. Some parents are just lazy and love to the blame the teachers for their bad parenting 🤷🏽‍♂️

Its a little bit of both. We live in a age where the poverty gap is getting larger. Poorer families dont have to luxury to spend more time with their children as the wealthy. Also single parent homes are increasing every decade. This is why Poverty always leads to higher crime rates. The correllation is there. Until we improve on the quality of life of everyday working class citizens, the more we are going to have problem with the youth. My grandfather never graduated from middle school, but he was the breadwinner in our family because of manufacturing jobs and jobs for lower class, we dont have that anymore so its been a stigma since we lost manufacturing.

What the schools have been doing to the population for years is heartbreaking, paired with the parents who don't care.

🎉 I agree, that would be a much better system. Standardized test need to go. Pray to God for support and guidance on this one. He is there for you and his children all you need to do is ask him. He will try to influence the law makers hearts. He can’t control their choices but he can control what influences and factors that happen in a persons life. For example God controls the weather.

It's Texas. They seem to hate the idea of an immigrant workforce.

As usual. Bring in the immigrants and foreign policy.

All depends on the demographic.

What?

Hell

That's exactly what they want. A stupid populace, is a lot easier to control.

Once you make it to Principal it’s literally political… I work in maintenance… All of the Directors are voted in and the Superintendents are voted in.. My license literally says political on it

Now you know those timers are going to make gains like never before. 😂😂😂

How to make children stupid, I mean I am just left with more questions.* There, fixed it for you. I'm sorry the school district did this to you. How old are you now? To write at a 4th grade level.

@@Facefully. For you to go out your way, 😂 just proof you are still in middle school and need to feel like you are important 😂 , it was autocorrect . Lol I'm sorry you don't have a life, you had the audacity to even care 😂 , low life

​​​​@@Facefully.That's not what they were trying to say...at all. This is what they mean, “How to make children stupid, mean and just left with more questions.” Where did you get the” I mean I am” from? You couldn't tell from the context the video provides, that they were talking about how to make a child act stupid and mean...? Of course, I could be incorrect but based on the context, as well as use of the word and, it seems like that's what they actually meant. Even how you wrote was incorrect. It should've been - How to make children stupid. I mean, I am just left with more questions. Or How to make children stupid; I mean, I am just left with more questions. Also, the way that you broke up the second part, doesn't really make sense even though technically it is correct. Typically, somebody would say “how old are you ? Since you're writing at a fourth grade level” To write at a fourth grade level makes no sense, because who are you talking about? You're not directing that at anybody. You're just saying to write at a fourth grade level. Read it aloud, you'll see how weird it sounds. If you're going to correct someone, you might want to make sure what you're saying is correct. Since even in what you thought they were trying to get across, you missed a comma. Regardless, you have no idea why this person was typing that way. Could be they have low vision, it could be they were just typing quickly because they're tired, it could be they have a condition that makes it difficult for them to read such as dyslexia, ETC. So not only did you not correctly, correct them, you also are engaging in ableism potentially. To act like them misspelling things/have incorrect sentence structure, has anything to do with their intelligence is ridiculous, you can't base some intelligence level on misspelling one comment. You would need more data points to make an accurate conclusion. Also, you are aware that not everybody in the world speaks English as a first language correct? Let me guess you're an American like me, since we typically seem to forget that it seems... There are so many reasons I can think of, that could cause,a person to misspell. Out of curiosity go, why did you feel it was necessary to make this comment? Did it make you feel better to try to put somebody else down? I made my comment, because I thought it was funny that you clearly used incorrect grammar and because bullies should be called out. But I'm curious what your reasoning was.

Judging by what is see what walks through the halls, and who drops them off, this country has no future. I’m so glad I have no children it’s time to get out

How do people who are poorly educated help their children?

@@DarkNJuju First I usually ask parents, "What kind of person do you want your child to be?". They don't need a formal education for that question - only heart. From that we can get a clear sense of the values in that family and use that as a guide for setting priorities. We work backwards from those priorities and then see how to do every day things to support that. When it comes to academics, I like to encourage parents to tap into the resource of retired educators and administrators in their community. Ask them, "what is my child 'supposed' to be learning right now?" Then between their guidance and the internet + a network of other parents who are able to identify their own strengths as well, they can get something going. Having all of the answers is not what makes someone a good parent. Being willing to reach for the answer and applying the help- that's a good parent.

Schools are funded primarily through property taxes. So regardless of whether your children are home schooled (or even if you don't have kids, you will pay for public schools. This is why schools districts in more affluent areas get more funding then those in poorer areas. Enrollment levels have very little to do with it. Your solution will only have some schools close due to enrollment being too low to justify staff and maintenance costs of buildings until an equilibrium is reestablished. This would create a scenario of a relatively few high funded/supported schools. But once that happens, there now will no longer be enough schools if enrollment goes up for any reason, creating a worse problem in the future if the district grows.

@@christracey5813 The pot from which the public school drawers is filled with funds from property taxes primarily, that is true. But a school with a lower enrollment number, and/or children that are missing days over the allotted amount per month where they can still be counted as really being a student there... That school will receive less funding than a school that is full. We know that because it's logical. The point of my comment however is not to stick it to the public schools. It is to offer an actual alternative which is that the children do not have to be enrolled in public school or even associated with it. Here in Florida and at least in my school district it is very difficult to even homeschool your children without being counted under the umbrella of the public school, because then they get to--- count the children as students and get the funding related to those numbers. But parents are the ones in charge of their child's education, whether or not they choose to outsource the day-to-day teaching. *Also here, the child can apply for a home school voucher that pools from that same property taxes funding and goes back to the parent who is homeschooling so that they can use it in their child's education. Essentially it is kind of like the step Up scholarship for families that want to send their child to a private school.

And another thing, they plan on one day returning it back to local control? Oh sure, only after ruining MORE children's love of learning, love of the system and more faith in the world and in the country. We do all these things to ourselves and wonder why life is so difficult??

Well damn, what school you work at?
