How would you make the public schools better?
You’ll never improve any school without support from the parents. And, unfortunately, you’ll never get parental support from the majority of public school parents in BR. They don’t have the sophistication or initiative to be good parents.

Integration in Baton Rouge was a complete disaster. A hundred or so middle class white kids, were bused to Valley park around 76, (including me) it was so bad, that I bet Catholic Highs enrollment went up 1000% the next year, there was no social media back then, but our experiences, and stories quickly spread. (There is a thread on here about it where several others from that class shared their experiences.)
In retrospect, I honestly wonder if it was bad on purpose. Anyway, it destroyed the public school district and the decent black schools in one swift move.
