I'm a Houston native and my sister is now an elementary school administrator in neighboring Fort Bend County. She said that the many kids who fled to her school district are grievously behind in academics, that most of the fifth graders are reading at about a 2nd grade level. She said that right off, the kids were complaining because they didn't get 2 recesses like they did in NO and some teachers from their school who came with them confirmed that they did get 2 recesses over there.

The teachers are desperately frustrated because all these kids are taking up their time and they hardly have time to deal with the kids who are average and better learners.
