Abstract: The article discusses the challenges faced by high-profile education reform efforts in big-city school districts, focusing on Houston's recent takeover by the Texas Education Agency and the implementation of a new education system by Superintendent Mike Miles. The article highlights the resistance and criticism faced by Miles and his agenda, as well as the financial and operational challenges within the district. It also explores the changing landscape of education reform, with a shift towards alternative education models and declining support for traditional big-city reform efforts.
