休斯顿：州任命的警长如何通过欺骗获得“成功”

来源:Diane Ravitch的博客Texas has a bizarre and punitive approach to public school accountability. If only one school in a large district is “low-performing,” the state can take control of the entire district. Houston is under state control because of only one school, as is Fort Worth.
The State Commissioner of Education, Mike Morath, is not an educator. He served on the Dallas School Board, but he is a businessman.
In Houston, he appointed former military man Mike Miles, to be the state-appointed superintendent.迈尔斯是布罗德校长学院的“毕业生”，在那里，未来的学校领导被教导要强硬、提出要求、关闭学校和执行自上而下的命令。 As a military man, Miles flourished in this environment. He led the Dallas school district, but things didn’t work out because of a exodus of teachers.
He then crested a charter chain based in Colorado. And now controjj on a the Houston Independent School Disrrict.
Daniel Dawer and Ruth Kravetz dissect Mike Miles’ “success” in Houston, which they call a shell game.
