MEATAXE MIKE MILES FIRST PLAY RIGHT OUT THE THE BILLIONAIRES PLAYBOOK

 

MEATAXE MIKE MILES FIRST PLAY RIGHT OUT THE THE BILLIONAIRES PLAYBOOK

Ladies and gentlemen, hold on to your hats because MeatAxe Mike Miles is about to take the education world by storm! His first play right out of the billionaire's playbook is to get rid of those pesky high-priced teachers and replace them with Chromebooks. Yes, you heard that right. Who needs human interaction when you have a shiny piece of technology?

In a recent document obtained by Houston Public Media, Mike Miles outlined his grand plan for the Houston Independent School District (HISD). By the 2025-26 school year, all HISD teachers will be paid based on their test scores. Because nothing says "quality education" like reducing a teacher's worth to a single test score.

But wait, there's more! HISD schools will also lose their autonomy under Miles' plan. Because why should individual schools have the power to make decisions for their own students? That's just crazy talk.

Now, I know what you're thinking. "But what about the students? Won't they suffer under this plan?" Well, fear not my friends. Miles has thought of everything. With the implementation of Chromebooks in every classroom, students will have all the knowledge they need at their fingertips. Who needs a teacher when you have Google, am I right?

But let's not forget about the real winners here - the billionaires. By getting rid of those pesky high-priced teachers, HISD will save a fortune. And who doesn't love a good cost-cutting measure? Plus, with the added bonus of performance-based pay, teachers will be working harder than ever before. It's a win-win for everyone...except for the students.

But let's not dwell on the negatives. With Miles' plan, HISD will be at the forefront of educational innovation. Who needs experienced and qualified teachers when you have technology? And who needs individual school autonomy when you have a state-appointed superintendent making all the decisions?

So let's raise a glass to MeatAxe Mike Miles and his brilliant plan to destroy public education in Houston. Who needs quality education when you have Chromebooks?
