The "privatizing schools" meme
Chronicle headline: Privatization is put on hold
There was no plan to privatize three HISD schools, except in the Chronicle's sloppy reporting from last week.
But once a story gets started -- even one that's inaccurate -- it's hard to stop it, and this one has taken on a life of its own. So much so that Superintendent Saavedra had to go so far as to assure community leaders that the three schools wouldn't be closed! Now where does anyone see THAT in last week's State of the Schools speech?
This is what can happen when inaccurate information isn't corrected in the same manner it was originally reported -- top of page A1 with a nice big headline.
