Changes after the state takeover of Houston ISD have spread to high-performing schools. Superintendent Miles must be clear about flexibility in classrooms.
“Put away the art projects, put away anything colorful,” the teacher calls to her students who are hustling around the room to cover any sign of whimsy and fun. A brown monotone world map replaces the rainbow-painted fish. They only have moments to transform the room and themselves before the administrator arrives for a surprise inspection. “Don’t smile, don’t even breathe loudly,” says the soft-spoken teacher.
