Well, I guess that's what the shredder is for!:D

Later, Box

She's lucky.

HISD has many unwritten policy rules, such as the one that you mentioned (no vacation on the day before a holiday). That, coupled with the new school board decision to use students' TAKS scores to determine whether to keep/fire teaches, is causing, in part, my significant other to leave HISD after this school year. Here's to hoping that she will find something more sane in another school district....

IMHO, pure stupidity.

Give it a few years and HISD will realize what kind of grave mistake they've made. They will not be able to retain teachers, especially in lower performing schools because the teachers can't bring the TAKs scores up, so they'll lower the requirements.

Me either, but that's why I married my wife. :) She has that gift that people in those roles need to have. She gets called every name in the book twice and it all rolls off her. Still amazes me.

:-: She's an amazing woman ^

Pretty aggressive campaign by IC, naming names and all
Curious why they need ALL our HH info, though?

Thanks for alerting

And they'll wonder why kids no longer have the ability to reason and problem solve because all they learned was "THE TEST"
