Dallas ISD superintendent-designee Mike Miles held a press conference and sat down for an interview with the in-house television production group this week.
Miles starts the job in Dallas at the first of July, but he is working at Dallas ISD headquarters under a consulting contract until then.
Should the interview, below, be regarded as anything other than a warning to Dallas teachers and administrators?
Is this any way to rally the troops one depends on?
This interview with Dallas ISD Superintendent-designate Mike Miles occurred on May 22, 2012.

I smell of whiff of Lake Woebegone Effect here: National average ACT scores are 21.3. Miles wants 60% of DISD kids above 21?
You can’t have 60% of your kids above average, you know? “60% of our kids do better than the other half!”
How about math standards that work?
