Baton Rouge's educational system defined in one picture

Shame on the EBR school members and shame on the parents of these students that attend public school in Baton Rouge.
My sister is a teacher in Baton Rouge. As an example, for Thanksgiving lunch, only a handful of parents showed up to eat with their son or daughter.
In Ascension Parish, many schools can't handle the demand and overflow of parents wanting to eat lunch with their son or daughter for Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter. So much so, you have to pick which one you would like to attend and rank them in order in terms of your preference, should your first selection can't be accommodated.
You get what you put into it. The EBR School Board members obviously don't believe education is important to the parents of these students, because the lack of parental involvement and necessary changes needed to improve are still non-existent today. And the parents allow this type of shite to happen, because many of them don't truly care about their son or daughter's education, as they are not fully committed to developing their child into the best person that they can become. And so the cycle continues.

The parents must have been working overtime and couldn't get away from the office.

Surely, Gravy was there...right?

Can not say that I am shocked one bit. Most of the public school parents look at the school as a daycare and nothing more.

The parents don't care. The reason we have so many issues is because they don't care. You're going to fix the problem by relying on them to care?

Yet none of the private school parents/administrators showed up on Saturday to vote no...
Posted on 5/1/18 at 10:26 am to Will Cover
at least one person showed up.

My daughter goes to private in BR and we can eat lunch with her any day that we want. I've never seen less than 10-12 parents in the cafeteria on some random Tuesday much less an event like Thanksgiving.
It's sad that some people don't give a shite about their kid's education and development. Just perpetuating the cycle of poverty.

How did the St. George school board meeting go?
Posted on 5/1/18 at 10:29 am to Will Cover
They got it on the April ballot with hardly anything else being voted on. With only 11% turnout, they weren't worried about it not passing.

For years, educators have thought the strongest predictor of attaining high levels of education was having parents who were highly educated. But, strikingly, this massive study showed that the difference between being raised in a bookless home compared to being raised in a home with a 500-book library has as great an effect on the level of education a child will attain as having parents who are barely literate (3 years of education) compared to having parents who have a university education (15 or 16 years of education). Both factors, having a 500-book library or having university-educated parents, propel a child 3.2 years further in education, on average.

The most succinctly stated summation of education (and the problem with it these days) I've ever read was:
Education cannot given to someone. It can only be pursued by someone who has been taught to value its pursuit.

Coddling children is harmful as well.

So are parent going to eat lunch occasionally with their kid is coddling them? I used to go maybe 3 times per year when my daughter asked me too. She's 11 now and probably doesn't want me there anymore

I'm sorry but this is just strange. Coming in for a special occasion is a great thing, but just randomly coming in and having lunch with your kid on a regular basis? Wouldn't the kids be better off having lunch with each other and socializing rather than being coddled by their parents?

Wow a bunch of private school kids have parents that can afford to either not work or take time off work, and have a mode of transportation to visit school whenever they want...
Do you ever stop to think that some (most) of these EBR public school parents cannot just leave their hourly job and find a way to make it to their child's school in the middle of the day? That doesn't mean they "don't give a shite".
Sure, some of those EBR public school parents are bad at parenting. But I bet you have some bad parents at your private school as well.
