hisd trustee proposed staggered start times for class to save transportation cost [wrong reason right idea] testimony is as follows in hearing 10th grade student in favor as it was in line with physiology sleep studies proving older the student require later start time mothers against it as it was inconvenient two hisd principles testified it would interfere with football practice hisd trustees tabled it even though it would lower cost but more importantly academic students would be asleep during first two hours of class. so that a few football players could practice and mothers could use the cmpus as a juvenile detention facility as for nutrition, physiology and sociology, it is unassailable a child raised in a sole physical custody household will statistically be low income subsequent to poor nutrition which of course affects academics. sociology comes into play as same gender classroom instruction is both legal under phase two of no child left behind AND reduces disciplinary issues. much has been made of the classroom disciplinary to jail issue yet hisd has done nothing to implement same gender classroom instruction. Note; same gender classroom instruction may be accomplished with a male academy and female academy on the same physical campus. no change of zoned school for registered child based upon residence address. unfortunately publicity has erroneously revolved around the entire campus being one gender rather than one gender classroom. as for north forest isd, hisd VOLUBTARILY annexed the district. hisd was the second worst district in harris county, WOULDN'T effectively mange the existing district, and wanted more money per student front federal/state sources. with the annexation the PRIMARY DIREXTIVE of texas public education isn't efficient education but rather revenue stream per student. that isn't the poiunt of rdf id tags. the total numbers of students on campus ground but not in class is to justify administrators argument for x-amount per student on campus. it isn't about effective education its bout revenue stream hisd administrators game the system as monst government agency employees do for their own benefit t the expense of the children, the community, the property owner, and the employer who leaves Houston for failure to obtain qualified emplyees thereby unnecessarily increasing the tax burden on the homeowner
