The New York Times does a good wrap-up on the ongoing shit-storm (oops, would poo-lution be more family friendly?) -- at any rate, on the dark and dirty truth about HISD's "miracle" under the misleadership of now-EdSec Rod Paige.
Groan. Everytime we got something good going on -- Enron, the HISD miracle, the Houston Rockets' legendary "Dream Team" -- it ends up falling apart or being a sham.

I told dozens of Texas and national reporters about this in 1999 and 2000. That the whole thing was a mirage. I worked for a state politician representing Houston and it was not exactly a well-kept secret that the miracle was based on kids that weren't even tested. They warehoused kids.
Thanks for finally waking up on at least one story, NY Times. And for burying it in your Saturday edition.
