If I were king of the Parish, I might suggest a parish wide magnet program for any kid that qualifies academically, and then local districts for those who do not qualify or who elect not to participate. That might work, but I'm not king and right now that's not legal.
I appreciate and respect your views Brother. I know we disagree, but I understand your viewpoint on St. George. The internet is not the best forum for great discussions because it is difficult to cede points and easy to seize on a word or a phrase and misrepresent the authors intent.
I think we need total reform. Starting with the teachers Unions and making our way down to kindergarten students and everything in-between. A one-sized approach doesn't work. We need a multi-tiered approach that not only rewards, but PUNISHES. Give the ones who ruin things for the good kids a taste of reality. We shortchange our children when we coddle the perps-in-training. We need to put Edward James Olmos in charge.

Thanks, but sometimes a I swerve. I have to remember to listen better.
And you and I agree on most everything.
Discipline is key in any school whether a child is above or below average.
Good luck with raising your crew. I finished raising mine, and I just see so many screwing up the kids and not using my tax dollars as it should be used.
Personally I'd love it if every corner of the parish had their own high school which included a curriculum suited for college prep, or kids looking to become electricians, etc. No busing, but everything right there in your big, big neighborhood.
If your neighborhood lacked what you needed because there were not enough kids to provide say advanced physics or calculus or whatever then you'd bus to another school of your choice that had it.
But whatever, it's useless without discipline at every level.
