What the heck do you mean by "fully fund" education? K-12 education was increased EVERY YEAR under Jindal. It just wasn't increased as much as local school boards and teacher unions would have liked.

While Louisiana fared better than some states, per-student spending between FY08 and FY14 dropped more than 4 percent when adjusted for inflation. That’s equivalent to $212 less in state support for each student.
The finding is hardly surprising, as state policymakers have failed to fully fund the K-12 Minimum Foundation Program (MFP) for five straight years. While overall funding has gone up due to enrollment growth, per-student funding has been frozen since 2008, resulting in $560 less in basic support for each student. Frozen funding means larger class sizes, fewer tutoring opportunities and cancelled after school programs.

See, there is your problem right there.

How many times do you need to hear that money will not solve the issue of low performing schools like you think it will?
Every one of those kids has a cell phone with internet access. Most have tablets or computers at home. They could become an expert in anything they want.
They lack discipline, drive, and care. Money won't solve that.
Like I said, I made good grades in AP classes all through high school. Not saying I'm some genius, but I didn't have any of the tech these kids have today.
All I had at home were Childcraft books, encyclopedias and workbooks. I had parents that cared. I did have the desire to try and work hard to make good grades. Something lacking in most students today.
Again, MONEY WON'T FIX THAT.
We spend tons more $$$ per student in the Wash DC school system. Why are they the lowest performing schools?
