Henderson High School, Henderson, TX, 2012-2014

This is the 20th video in my series on public education and my experiences as a teacher. Henderson High School was the most academically inbred school I worked in. Around half of all the teachers had been Henderson High School graduates. But I loved it there, and would have loved to spend the rest of my career there. However, the administration screwed me out of my teaching job in order to create yet another coaching position. As I've said before, in public education, athletics takes precedence over academics. Coaches (especially football coaches) are revered, for some strange reason, while real teachers get very little respect.
