What is your main complaint for education in Louisiana

---

the students

Common Core is a set up standards, nothing to do with the learning. I am not opposed to common core really

Sounds like everywhere. Public education now is geared to the lowest common denominator. If you have kids a that already are brilliant, you can navigate through it, but marginal kids won't develop, because it's just basic daycare now. Hopefully there are more choices soon, but I feel sorry for anyone who has kids in Public school these days...

It all needs an overhaul.
Like our state government.

Local schools have lost touch with reasonable testing and standards. We pay too low to keep anyone, our standards are too low to truly change a generation, and our schools are too out of date to keep up.
The money that is already allocated to public school goes to other pockets.
Also, education is not taken seriously by parents anymore.

School boards

Probably the fact that it's compulsory. Set that dead wood afloat. Stop mainstreaming retarded kids into the classroom.

Profit.

I have no complaints.

Many Louisiana parents are trashy, ill-mannered, and by demonstration, teach their kids counter-productive behavior patterns. The worst thing about Louisiana schools is that your kids will have to go to school with their kids.

As an educator I feel there is very little I can do to promote those exceptional students..This is because the school board and system wants me to follow a certain Curriculum and if I deviate from it I get reprimanded.

People put too much stock in their kids school. Does it hurt to have your kid in the best schools? Absolutely not.

But if you do your job as a parent, your kid will succeed even in LA public schools.

I tell people this all the time.
