Mainstream edujournalism is fatally addicted to misinformation

#HISD COMMUNITY continue to complain with CEASELESS AGITATION!

@teachbk Bet he has also complained about schools not changing since the 1800s. 🙄

Genuinely not looking for a debate or to put anyone down I just find it utterly fascinating that someone would look at this classroom and think this is the ideal learning environment for children
