Crosby ISD becomes first district in Harris County to vote on 4-day school weekThe district said it had 40 teacher vacancies at the start of the 2022-2023 school year compared to usually having only about 12. On Monday night, they meet with parents to make the final vote. Maybe good teachers are leaving because they’re pushed out for not going along with DEI, CRT- can’t forget about those rotten kids who aren’t punished for disrupting the entire class and the parents don’t do anything but blame society for their equally rotten parenting. Disgusting. Parents should do something. Parents have a 5 day work week minimum. Are they supposed to hire a nanny now?
