After Diversion Into KISD Administrative Arrogance & Puppet Board Majority, We’ll Return To Columns For Substantive Issues Of Reform, Academics, & Instructional Integrity
Excluding the inconsequential private ramblings and meanderings of Commander in Chief Alton Frailey and his Katy I.S.D.’s Center of Truth’s gang of administrative groupies and board protectors, even my genuine harshest critics should privately acknowledge that my website sets a high standard for including facts and data with my analysis. When one attempts to write a continuing...
If Community Wants Reform, They Must Be Prepared Soon To Help Proctor & Huckaby Stand Up To A School Board President & Administration In Fear Of Losing Their Control
The issue of reform in Katy I.S.D. has reached the point it was destined to reach IF members of the school board ever actually began scoring points with the public to the degree that the administration and its lap dog board protectors like Joe Adams began to feel the earth moving under their feet. Bulletin: The earth is moving under their feet. Dr. Bill Proctor and Terry Huckaby have brought the...
The Process Of Selecting Superintendents Has Become Dysfunctional And Driven By ‘Insiders’; The System Itself Sabotages Any Genuine Business Or Academic Accountability For Students, Parents, Teachers, & Taxpayers
If local reformers lose the magic moment that is now before us to bring actual business and academic reform to Katy I.S.D. it will be because of a failure to address decisively the issues involved in selecting and evaluating the superintendent of schools. In Katy, we have a superintendent working under an existing contract. While that makes the immediate path of reform vastly more difficult, there...
Principles To Guide The Path Forward To Reform
This document is not ‘light reading.’ The subject of public education is too important for the acquiescent acceptance of the status quo to continue. It is true that the emotions that can attach to the subjects can be intense. However, there has never been a time in our community’s (or the nation’s) development that the need to face important issues with courage and strength of purpose to do...
State’s STAAR Test Will Be Unmitigated Disaster For Credibility Of TEA, Legislature, School Districts, Vendor Pimp Corporations, Consultants; Analysis Of KISD Semester Tests Show Ticking Time Bomb Of Pending Disgrace For Them
Stupidity on steroids. That’s the only way to describe what the evil empire of the public education industrial complex led by the Texas Education Agency has done to itself by the way it is rolling out its new accountability test - STAAR. When the TEA is forced to announce the results of testing this spring, the bottom line will be the unmitigated disaster these results will impose upon exposing...
The Texas Education Agency & Your Local School District Could Tell You The Definitive Truth About Your High School’s And District’s College Board AP Performance Results But They Don’t & They Won’t; Let’s Go Inside Fort Bend I.S.D. To See The Level Of ‘Deceptive’ Truth Parents Get From System
All across the nation and sweeping into Texas public schools, The College Board’s Advanced Placement course and testing program is deteriorating in quality and productivity moving further away from the service it has provided so well for so long.

In Public Education & Katy I.S.D., “There Are Different Perspectives About The American Revolution, Depending On The Side You Were On”: How In Holy Hell Does District Justify Including This Description Of The American Revolution In Staff Development Training ‘Teaching’ Teachers How To Teach?
Long after your children have forgotten the myriad details and factoids about the historical figures of the American Revolution, there is a deep understanding your Katy I.S.D. wants them to cherish for their entire lives. It is so important to the district, that staff development time is being used to teach teachers how to teach students more effectively in order to help them acquire an enduring understanding...
It Is Time For Good People To Stop Watching In Silence As Government Bureaucrats And Private Vendors & Consultants Enrich Themselves Professionally & Financially As The Public Education System Implodes In A Sea Of Academic Corruption
My primary thesis regarding the public education system is that it has evolved into a state of pervasive academic corruption that has essentially destroyed the integrity involved in the delivery of instruction to an ever-increasing majority of students in the State of Texas. Further, my thesis asserts that intellectually dishonest public school administrators, corrupt private corporations including...
I Am Back For At Least A 4-Month Push To KISD’s Next Election Day - Proctor, Huckaby, Reform Need Help; As Effort Renews, Introspective Thoughts About The Battle
One of the great oxymorons of life is that so many conservative Katy Republicans who purport to breathe an inherent suspicion of the motives and actions of government trust Texas and Katy government bureaucrats to tell them what they ‘need to know’ about how well the government’s public education system is meeting their children’s needs. The second such great oxymoron is that liberal Katy...
No Sympathy For Penn State
I have just read the grand jury report from Penn State. I want to put the following assessment into the context of my career which has included coverage of capital murder trials as well as various matters of criminal conduct. Quick trial. Lethal injection. No matter what happens when defense attorneys take over: find a tree; hang them all including Paterno. I retract: lethal injection too humane...
