and she thinks this is a good thing?

So her grand idea, is to move teachers whose students perform. . .to classrooms that are the worst performers, in the worst performing schools?

And to do this yearly?

I can save her the trouble of a long term study. This ends with all the good teachers going private, charter, or out of the district.

You are welcome, Ms Banks.

The drawback is I do not invest a lot into forming relationships. I do not participate in extra-curricular activities or volunteer for off-campus events. Gone are the days when I purchased embroidered or printed t-shirts and sweatshirts. In all honesty, I have become detached from my varied school surroundings. I remember a time when I was intentional and “knew by name” my students, parents, and co-workers, none of those traits currently exist.

My mama would say, “There are ONLY two days that matter when a job get tough. She asked, “Do you know what they are?” I would guess, “Saturday and Sunday”! She would respond, “No. The only two days that matter on a job are PAYDAY and OFFDAY!”

This mindset, is the exact reason why you have such a large portion of "culture" that fall in the same loop of failure.

As her "mama" instilled into her, only thing that matters is that paycheck. If you don't take pride in your work, and practice some personal responsibility, then this will rub off on your kids/students and they too, won't give a shite.

It's frightening that Chauna is in a position of "leadership" in the Baton Rouge city government. That loser mentality is why BR is such a shithole.
