It is NOT a personal vendetta.
Many in DISD know about the problems over at Hill, but there is fear that replacing an administrator based on how he or she treats teachers is not supporting other administrators in general.
So, let the school go down hill (pun intended), and pretty soon, the kids from that school will be just as ganged-up as the ones who come out of Gaston.
At one time, kids from Hill would show up at BA ready to learn. Now, they argue, cuss and act like gang-banger wanna-be's.
That is the dirty little secret about DISD middle schools.
They can push them off on the high schools, even if they fail the TAKS, whatever.
Heck, BA even gets incoming freshmen who are PREGNANT!
Blame the parents of course, but school leadership could quell a lot of it. Hill's leadership and staff keeps turning over.
That isn't just one "unbalanced" parent.
