At first glance, for most people, you might write this off as a typo. But this is Chauna. Apparently, she writes the same way she speaks.

Chauna Banks is part of the PROBLEM.
How long has she been in BR politics and what exactly has been done? I’ll hang up and listen.

Holy shite. Investment in schools is what makes schools successful. When the community invests in a school, that’s what changes the culture.

The only permanent location I claim is the one with my home address. I like a new challenge, am easily bored, and much less tolerant with adults that care more about saving themselves than the students. If you genuinely want to teach, reach, and preach to students, it will show up wherever you are placed....IN THE STUDENTS.
The community produces students, not the teachers. I say this as a 7 year educator in NWLA.
Why would the community invest in a school if the teachers and admins do not?

Think about it, Banks is an elected official, former educator (I believe) and votes on matters for the schools and this is her mindset.

This logic already failed at BRPD. Now let’s try it on the schools.

This is exactly how you lose more teachers. If a teacher gets into a halfway decent school, they don’t want to move around every 4-5 years.
When I was in the school system they historically took the best teachers at the best school and moved them to the worst school.
They were all excited at the challenge but learned that no PTO and different demographics weren’t the problem. It was the parents complete and utter lack of concern for their kids education.

If it’s a persistently low achieving school, you would get absolutely nothing done with that kind of turnover.
the sooner you people understand that these schools are just daycare centers, the sooner everyone can understand reality.

I was at a persistently low-achieving school for about 8 years (non-teaching positions). We were state audited 3 times in that period for not meeting benchmark (but made gains each year).
They typically had three set interventions for a state-audited school and it was get rid of your SBDM, get rid of half of your staff, and shutdown all together. Or you could pitch your own intervention.
One of the first ones we pitched was incentive pay for teachers to come/stay at the school. And the district shot it down with a quickness. It was sad honestly, as we’d routinely here after interviews where experienced teachers would turn us down that they’d consider if there a financial incentive. Especially when you consider that they’d get paid the same at another school with far less hassle.

And this is why the private schools in Louisiana (specifically EBR) are far superior.

She’s reminding teachers that you aren’t there to teach you’re there to indoctrinate.

A bunch of teachers got reassigned a few days ago... well unassigned. It was newer teachers in cushy jobs like "associate teacher", they put two teachers in the same classroom in low census classes. One with a masters is the the teacher and the one with a undergrad is an associate. The associates were told they were needed in other areas and not as associates for next year and you would have thought the superintendent killed their puppies. Look, I know nobody wants to go from a nice location to a shite location but that is how shite happens in the real world. Education and Government are living in fantasy land playing with peoples money from the real world.

It may have been a great or even reasonable letter but I couldn’t get past that.

This mindset will 100% result in a failed system.
It definitely seems like a large drawback both for teacher and for the students & parents that she is minimizing.
Anyway besides her awkward grammar she seems very classy…

The emails, obtained Thursday by The Advocate, went to all 12 council members and certain members of the city-parish staff. Loupe's reminder that Banks had spent campaign money on clothes and beauty parlors drew a sharp retort.
"If your son wasn't buying weed, he would be walking today," Banks wrote in a Sept. 14 email to Loupe that also went to Council members and administrators.
Loupe's then-15-year-old son was shot during an alleged drug deal that turned into an armed robbery; his injury left him paralyzed below the waist. Loupe said in a text Thursday that he was in Canada and was hopeful he could keep his family out of the public eye. Banks returned a telephone call but spoke over attempts to question her about the email exchange.
"I'm not gonna let you, the media and Chandler mistreat me. ... I didn't lie," she said.
Banks cut off a question asking about the public perception of her remarks.
“I don’t give a damn what the people say,” she said.

Are they being moved into unsafe schools? If they are afraid for their safety at work shouldn't they consider quitting?
Teachers aren't all great and sometimes they are spoiled but I find it easy to sympathize with anyone who doesn't want to work where there's violence and most students don't want to learn.

If teachers who care have to start over every 4 or 5 years, they will go to another district or leave the profession. The only ones left in EBR will be those just collecting a pay check and those not competent enough to get a job elsewhere.
Kinda sounds like she's saying that the reward for busting arse and doing well is that you get kicked to a shitty school that no one wants to work and where the students/parents don't care.

Except in the EBRPSS, that’s what’s known as a lateral move.

Look, I understand what she's trying to say and partially agree. Some people get too complacent when they're in one spot and, theoretically, the poorer performing schools need the better teachers. But, like she plainly laid out by her own admission, she basically doesn't give a frick about her job other than her days off and her paycheck. If that's what her great plan produces, then it's probably not a good one.

Stopped reading. No intelligent person says this, so the words that follow are unimportant.
