WHAT'S UNDER THE FWISD RUG?

This dead horse has been beaten enough that it is still dead and that horse is FWISD.  It seems things keep getting worse and worse with no slim hope of things changing.

We have seen this new 8 period/ 45 minute teaching time that is to improve teaching and learning.  We are not a PHD as some admin are but that surely did not help them to realize that less time and more periods won't make a difference.  Now, having two periods off to plan and also for PD can work in some instances but not at the expense of bigger classes.  It would also be beneficial when you have a PD department that knows what they are doing and are strategic about how to support staff on stuff that is meaningful and not just a program bought to appease a friend as in LII and such.  If this is the magic solution then why didn't Washington perform the miracle when she was principal?  Did we see the STAAR results change?  What data shows this will completely change things for the benefit of students and teachers?  No one has done their research so the answer is no.

What else do we have under rug....

1. is it unethical for a supervisor to borrow money from his or her employee?

2. Chaos and violent behavior being ignored in the maintenance department under Gil Griffin.

3. Gender and race inequities in hiring practices under Art Cavazos and his departments.

4. Board member's family earning over half a million dollars in scholarships.  In Mexico and the US that is called corruption.  Guess who it is.

5. Who really works 10 hour days during the summer?  Not principals!

6. Why is Needham hiring all of her friends at AHHS without certifications?

7. David Guerra the new Athletic Director was hired yet FWISD spent a fortune on a recruiting firm.  His son attends AHHS so expect the perks to start.

8. Race and Equity training costs millions and nothing has changed.

More and more of the same folks!
