Deady Middle School

I would not recommend any parent to bring their child to this school...

HISD uses the AESOP Automated Substitute Placement and Absence Management system for teachers to create absences/request substitute teachers and for substitute teachers to search for jobs. For each job a substitute teacher accepts, there is a cut-off time for canceling the job the day of the job. The substitute may have personal reasons for canceling a job (we get sick, too ... things happen to us, too), but the substitute does not have to give a reason for canceling a job as long as the cancelation is within the timeframe allowed. If a substitute cancels a job on the day of a job, the system automatically prevents that substitute from accepting another job anywhere else in the district. I have not had to cancel many jobs, but I have had to cancel two jobs at this school, and it is the only school where someone from the school called me at home (and left messages on my answering machine) to harass me about my decision. Poorly played, Deady staff. Poorly played.

I am in love with Deady Middle School. The programs here make children learn a lot and while still having fun. My daughter and son are recently attending this school and they love it. They have learned a lot and they are barely 6th graders! I think other schools should follow Deady's examples on how to keep a kid busy while learning new things and interacting with other students. Harmony should take some help tips from this school.
