Democratic City Turns Libraries Into DETENTION Centers? | The Left Wing 18.2
from The Left Wing · host The Left Wing
In the upcoming school year, the Houston Independent School District will eliminate librarian positions at more than two dozen schools and use some of the libraries as centers for students who have been removed from their classrooms for disciplinary reasons. The changes are part of superintendent Mike Miles’ plan called New Education System, an effort to reform a district plagued by low reading levels and standardized test scores. Under the new system, librarians at at least 28 schools will transition into other roles within the district and some of the libraries will be used as “Team Centers,” where students removed from class due to behavioral issues can join the lessons virtually, the district announced.
