NES Schools
-No books, No libraries -Teacher lectures/STAAR practice -Daily tests before students practice -Unengaging worksheets -One-size-fits-all lessons, timed tests -Makes learning frustrating

Great Schools
-Students read books -Learn by doing -Practice new skills before test -Creative learning activities -Special Ed accommodations -Make learning fun

Our kids need the OPPOSITE of what the takeover and NES bring to our schools.
-
We need teacher retention and experience - the takeover is producing the opposite- a mass exodus of good teachers.
- Our kids need small class sizes - Miles supports the two classroom- one teacher model and where is the funding to sustain Miles' NES over-the-top spending?
-
Our kids need access to age-appropriate books that develop a love of reading - the takeover and NES remove library access and limit children to only read STAAR passages and excerpts. Last week on Houston Matters, F Mike Miles said, if kids want to read books, they can read them after school.
