The hallways of the high school run by Houston's "Principal of the Year" -- ouch

[Bucky]

I'll bet this teacher and this principal just hate each other. http://houstonpublicschoolnews.blogspot.com/2011/05/money-matters-in-education-but-its-not.html

1. That makes me wonder just how

typical this kind of thing is in other public schools.

2. Far more typical than most folks realize

I've taught in schools like this. And I teach ELEMENTARY school.

Fortunately I am NOT in a school like this anymore. But they are a big concern, especially in urban districts.

3. I don't know.

Due to classes being cut on my campus, the students don't always have a full set of classes to take during the day. I see kids roaming around, waiting until they do have a class and then they go. It's not good that there aren't classes they can take, but I'm just saying that this set of pictures doesn't necessarily prove anything nefarious is going on. I'd want to know more.
