re: Chauna Banks on the EBR Teacher Shortage

quote:”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.”


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.
