Right. People assume they pay a lot more in property taxes to fund public schools but it’s really not much relative to the cost of private education. ...

Great post!
I paid ~$1300 in property taxes to EBR schools last year. The mechanics of receiving my portion etc and net neutral like others have stated can not make sense. Average EBR per student spent is ~$13k. ...

Does anyone know how it actually works?
Is it a tax credit? Is it based on your property taxes paid or is based on per pupil spending?
It’s great to say the money should follow the student but what does this actually look like?
I live in 70808 and paid ~$1300 in EBR school taxes. That’s a ...

I’ve got small kids and we’ve been watching some of the movies my wife grew up on.
I was an only child and can’t ever remember watching movies like the goonies or brink etc.

re: How can Louisiana tame infant, maternal mortality?
Posted by Wasp on 2/12/24 at 1:16 pm
But it wouldn’t work, here’s why:
Hospitals cannot deny emergent care. How can they force someone to pay any sum of money before receiving that care? How are they going to collect it on the back end?

re: How can Louisiana tame infant, maternal mortality?

Not even close to the right answer.
Multiple problems converge to create this issue:
1. Overall lack of health/obesity/diabetes
2. Poverty
3. Diet/exercise/smoking/drugs
4. Inability to take off work to get to appointments
5. Transportation to/from appointments
6. Access to care in rural...

All that is fine and I still don’t know that I disagree with you but teachers don’t decide what to teach or how to teach.
And to put my opinion out there with this:
Comparing our public schools to other states:
Average teachers
Below average administrators
Below average students
Below avera...
