Destroying public schools is a feature, not a bug. There are people who are philosophically opposed to the concept of public education. Some of them are here, on a board dedicated to, wait for it, a public educational institution. Others are in the legislature. One of them is in the governor's mansion.

Public schools here will never be fixed if the culture of the families that attend them is not.

School choice is a great thing, however, in Louisiana that needs to come in the form of tuition free options such as charter schools or vouchers for top students. Our private school culture is unlike almost any other state in the US, and this proposed plan will (in my opinion) affect families whose children already attend private school in a negative way.

The vast majority of public schools in this state are already destroyed and the government can't do anything about it. No amount of money or great teachers can fix it. When a massive portion of your population doesn't care about education and doesn't respect authority then there isn't much you can do. Just hope to educate the students that actually want to learn which is a small %. Go spend a few days in a typical Louisiana public school and you'll see they are glorified day cares and it's not the fault of the teachers or the admin. The parents raising these kids dngaf about anything.
