  1. Depends on how truthful and neutral the friend is - I know some people who embellish stories about themselves because they feel their lives need more excitement.But, if it's a person who I know and feel that he or she would tell the truth, then, yes, I would trust him/her.

    What could be the reason you're sounding so stupid? Pick an option: A) You've graduated from an HISD school B) You're a child.

  2. So back to my question. is this improper use of funds? or are the $$ affecting HISD policy?

    The answer to your question is :::::drumroll::: YES! Just the tip of the HISD money malfeasance & misappropriation iceburg though.

    Here's one example of corrupt HISD fiscal policy:

    HISD was given a one million dollar grant (federal funds) for an arts program for 2006-2007. Ten middle schools were to receive 100,000 large apiece. (God only know why HISD thought that humongous amount of money was necessary for each campus but that another barrel of drunken monkeys). Dr. Saavedra created a brand-spanking new positon for Noah Wiley as head honcho of the money. WIley was given a shiny new office with staff (!) along with a nifty logo.

    Where did the money go though? Not one middle school campus saw a dime.

    HHHHmmmmm, vedy interestink.

  3. as to who gets the kids is the question...some districts might not want the extra burden and you got to also think you have people who will lose jobs as a result of the merger...

    as funny as it sounds, blacks have suffered as a result of integration as the better black schools were forced to close and merged in with white schools and the better teachers were split up all over the place.

    I'm not advocating segragation but looking at the results of it blacks haven't benefited as much as some would think. Areas that were strong weakened overnight and you look at growth patterns now whites still are isolated in large concentrations outside the city...

    On July 2, 2007, the brilliant Chief Justice Roberts said "The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race" and the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the integration plans in school districts in Seattle and Louisville, Ky., that used race as a way to determine which schools students should attend.

    Segregation stills happens naturally. Birds of a feather flocking together and all. The bigger problem is that HISD is unable to fix itself and the horrific problems of its schools. HISD is all about self-promotion and aelf-aggrandizement but knows nothing about accountability.

    HISD has a culture problem. It embraces the culture of victimhood. It embraces the culture of nepotism. It embraces the culture of diversity and left-wing politics. It embraces the culture of money rather than education.

    HISD is corrupt. Board member Kevin Hoffman is the epitome of what is wrong with HISD.

    Too bad all the good teachers are leaving and segreagting themselves in other districts.
