The counter argument is people produce better when they are happy in a familiar place with people they know

Yeah, I agree with you there.
Unfortunately, there's a choice we really need to make. Do we save the ones that we can save and who are trying to succeed or do we just let the people who don't care bring everyone else down to their abysmal level?
People like Chauna want to go with option B because it's the lazy/easy way out.

From reading Ms Banks letter it readily becomes apparent that she is nearly illiterate and incapable of writing or speaking grammatically correct English.
Unfortunately that is the case with the majority of our schoolteachers and has been for decades.
School teachers are useless to the extent that we now homeschool our children because we can't afford private school tuition. School choice is the answer but teachers unions will never allow that to happen.

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.
It’s a vicious cycle.
The poor schools attract shitty teachers that are only in it for the paycheck/benefits. Those shitty teachers, in turn, ensure that the schools will continue to perform poorly.
I’m not really sure you can put a pin on an exact date when the EBRPSS fell into this cycle. I graduated from Belaire HS in 1984, and my sister graduated in 1992. We both got good HS educations from that school, as did the solid majority of our classmates. Educations that prepared us for college. The teachers cared, and parents were involved. The decline appears to have been steady and gradual…but from what point, I couldn’t really say.
All I know is that there appears to be no pulling out of the cycle, and thusly, no saving the system. The parents that care are putting their kids in private schools. Teachers who are worth a damn are following suit.

Ascension Parish is offering current teachers 10k more a year to go and teach in Donaldsonville because that area cannot keep teachers. Most of the people going are teachers near retirement who are looking for that extra money so their retirement can be higher.

The two largest factors are parents and school board administrators.
You can't control parents and their lack of interest in their own children.
You need people at the top that are willing to make those tough decisions and do what's best for the district as a whole. Unfortunately, EBRPSS isn't interested in the kids under their care, but rather doing everything they can to protect their image and their personal interests and it shows. The fact that CB is blaming charter schools tells you everything you need to know. It's never their fault and it's always someone else's responsibility to fix the problem. If nothing else, she really is a true representative of her constituency.

Agreed.
And until the demographic changes and/or makes adjustments to its attitudes toward education, the system is virtually unfixable.

I was discussing the ST George thing with someone who lives in St George the other day. They have kids in the magnet schools, guess what, they are against it bc their kids are in good free public schools. This whole equity in education thing they are pushing had
them apoplectic.

The problem with the magnet system is that it is a lottery. You get in and you are set, you don’t get in and you are scrambling to find a private school with a spot or moving to another district.
That shite is sustainable for a period of time but the two-tier system of magnet and D-F schools is killing the system because there is no reason to stick around unless you get into the magnets.
Biggest single problem is that people are so invested in the status quo (parents w magnet kids, teachers and school system with money in shitty underperforming schools) that no one wants to take a risk.
St George is happening specifically because people tried to fix things and were told “Go make your own school system”.

Banks is emblematic of a LOT of the problems in EBR.
She tried to frick one of the other districts by replacing deceased white Republican councilman Buddy Amoroso with a black liberal Democrat. When Tara Wicker broke ranks and refused to play along, she got petty and did shite like force council meetings at times when Wicker was supposed to be elsewhere simply out of spite.

That might be the dumbest thing I have ever read. Wtf??

Several disturbing items here from Ms Banks, but they are not new to the parish.
One ,she is upset that Citizens have the actual gall to protest that their children's teachers are being assigned to other schools.
These proRegressives really get bent out of shape when someone questions their decisions , and for someone to protest just blows their minds.
I taught for 22 years in inner city schools in EBR. When I hired on the only positions open where at the inner city schools, no one wanted to teach in those schools. Trying to get transferred into the Magnet schools twice each year was next to impossible.
The majority of these students in these schools don't care about education and their parents don't either. I Saw it first hand.
Banks is insanely jealous of private and magnet schools. She is upset that some people are more intelligent than her.
I believe that there is a mind set in the parish school administration the schools will magically improve once that all the non-Black teachers and school board members are driven out of the school system. They actually think the non-Black teachers are purposely holding the Black students back.
When I was in high school all my teachers had been there for like 20 years or more. They were good/great teachers and built school spirit and pride. There is no way to generate something like this when there is a revolving door for teachers /principals. This school system is purposely attempting to break morale of the teachers.
Gary Matthews and Clayton Wilcox tried this shite.
Divide and conquer.

If Banks is jealous someone is more intelligent than her, that is a long fricking list.

Whoever wrote that is illiterate. That’s all I know. Sheesh.

I’m sorry, is Chuana Bank on the school board now? No? Then maybe she should politely STFU!

If a normal person’s thoughts are worth two cents, hers are worth about 1 Zimbabwe dollar.

Hers are really worth more considering she votes on this shite
