Yates Wins By 1 At Last Second

[BLUEDOVE3]

In Houston, its just necessary...I mean why run half full schools, with empty classrooms..Shut them down, combine the populations, build new facilities (or not) and watch the growth! It is really that simple, but it takes too much brain power to so that, and the people in HISD are lacking that tremendously!

But you also have to consider that they are not going to change or tear down any of the old schools in Houston. Too-oo much tradition. Yates, Wheatley, B.T.Washington, Bellaire, and (I'm sure there are 1 or two more) aren't going anywhere. Too strong of an alumnus that let that happen. The kids would have a long ride on the bus to get across town, though many of them do it now for various reasons. But with all that said, I'd love to seethose schools back in the 5-A District. No way should they be in 4-A.
