Recently in the news:

• Parent survey responses suppressed by Miles: Parents don’t want NES (CVPE blog)
• Miles warns almost half of HISD principals they may be fired. Listen to him disparage principals here. 

Finally, did you know that Miles' teacher survey was not confidential? 

Miles' claim that “96% of teachers said they wanted to stay with HISD" is an Orwellian lie on a grand scale. Read more in the Houston Press and below.

"When we asked if answering that you weren’t coming back and receiving the pop-up withdrawal form moved that part of the survey out of the realm of confidential, this is the response we got from the HISD press office: The survey is not confidential and was not presented as such.” 

"A teacher at an NES high school said some at that teacher’s campus said colleagues answered "yes" on the survey  ‘due to fear of retaliation from the admin.’ A teacher at a school with high standardized test scores, said fully a third of the staff wanted to leave.”

Will you stand up for public education and for Houston schoolchildren?
