Well, the business sector usually REWARDS CEO's with huge monies, since the boards are stacked with cronies. Rarely do CEO's get fired and leave with NOTHING.

Hold the DISD accountable, but also make sure that when you do, ask yourself: Did I help the schools myself? Did I volunteer in any way?

If you say no, then wonder how teachers manage to get anything done when they have little public help. Pay increases only go so far. Testing is out of whack.

In fact, last year, Hinojosa swore to the DISD staff that "the TAKS test will not drive this train." NO, the darn Road to Broad will. And what is based on? TAKS scores.

Ask any DISD teacher what they heard for two days this week and three days of staff development this summer: TAKS TAKS TAKS.
