Nothing new. There was an incident in class during my junior year at Woodlawn where a student threatened told the teacher he would knock her out because she tried to take his phone from him during class. This student had just started at Woodlawn because he got kicked out of Catholic High... A couple years later he got kicked in the mouth by Jordan Jefferson.

Dont let the schools paint you a shitehole picture of all of Baton Rouge. All major cities have their share of terrible inner city schools.

But those same students won't have 12 years of EBR School Board allowing them to do whatever they want. Those kids probably would have been kicked out of school much earlier and wouldn't be around to disrupt the kids that are legitimately trying to gain an education.

Like I said in another thread, some of these incidents are happening with kids who do not live in the proposed district, which has been confirmed by other students. Even if they did, do you not think it would be handled differently? Do you think we want to have our own school district just to let the same stuff fly?

Do you have school-aged kids?
Do you believe the local community knows what is best for their kids?

Taking a wild guess here that the superintendent of the St. George system would take a lot harder line on things as opposed to Taylor's "no expulsions and re-test them 'till they pass" mentality.
I agree with what is said upthread, though, that a lot of this will involve having a system where these little bastards aren't allowed to run rampant for 12 years doing whatever they want.
A lot of this behavior is correctable in the lower grades if it is enforced. It's harder to fix by middle school and pretty much impossible to fix by high school.

Honestly, who here is afraid to send their kids to ebr public schools?

What would you have done differently? Executed the kids on the spot???

Hell all we have to do is "fix the schools by erasing poverty" right?

I do not have a link to support my claims. I have word from teachers and students in the school that can confirm what I am saying. I don't rely on media outlets or governmental attendance records for my information.

What I meant here was most of the other problems that have not resulted in these punishments that are in the article linked at the beginning of the thread. The incidents you linked are serious enough to where EBRPSS did not have a choice. Other incidents they keep under the table and do nothing about. Sorry for the confusion.

I know from talking to EBR teachers that students can be and are expelled for repeatedly disrupting classes. Whether to expel a student is up to the principal.
Unfortunately, a school's academic rating is hurt for every student expelled which gives an incentive for principals to NOT expel a student. That's a shitty policy on the part of the state's rating system that even SG would have to live with.
I would like to see the legislature get involved with changing that part of the rating system the state is using.
There are multiple discipline centers in EBRSS where disruptive students are sent, some of which were created as part of the commitment made to taxpayers after the last EBR tax election.

Do you have links to support your claims that you talked to teachers who say students can get expelled from disrupting class?
Did you see these things happening right in front of you and in the classes you were sitting in to support what you are saying? I do, and I can assure you that a student never got expelled for being disruptive in class.

You were asked a question earlier but you didn't respond. Do you have school age children and do they attend an East Baton Rouge Parish public school?

Just from observing the responses he has in these SG threads, he is either 60+ with no school-aged children who attended a private school while in school or 40 something and currently has kids attending private schools.

So EBR in the 70/80s when the schools were good and kids at "public" U High or BRMHS?
FWIW I am a EBR school system grad as well
