I think he lives in the Birmingham area and their inner city schools are just as bad.
They just all white flighted to the suburbs 40 years ago but in South Louisiana a lot of upper middle class, wealthy people with kids still live in the city limits.

Birmingham schools are nothing like south Louisiana schools... sure the inner city schools are rough but have you seen a Spain Park? Hoover? Mt Brook?? These schools look like colleges.

The people that send their kids to private school here mostly live in the city. You move to the suburbs for good public schools and a 45 minute commute to work.

They are all considered within Birmingham city limits.

because that would put the private ones out of business.
That’s the key. Most private schools operate on thin margins. I’d assume most parents that send their kids to a private school actually care about the school and it’s future.
All private schools have financial records available to parents. Review the records and see if the school can weather a hit anywhere from several hundred thousand dollars to a couple million in refunded tuition.

All of the private schools in my area, including the one my kids go to, are doing class work online.

Ours isn’t. Not that I expected them to but I received an email Monday from the principal stating numerous parents inquired about it. Parents were bitching bc teachers were posting hours of homework online and parents were having to do all the teaching. I can understand the parents being aggravated but expecting a refund is kind of ridiculous. The teachers are being paid and at low incomes compared to public schools so the money is already spent.

If I was paying $10,000-$15,000 a year to send a kid to a private school during this I would either want a $3,000-$4,000 refund or in the very least a $3,000-$4,000 credit towards the next school year if my kid wasn't a senior.
Most people who are paying that kind of coin to send their kids to school aren’t too concerned about a partial refund imo

Correct, no tuition refund because instruction continues online. The only thing I could see them refunding would be the daily lunch fee, but I'm not holding my breath.

We’re not getting one, wouldn’t ask for one, and shouldn’t get one even if we did.
My kids’ teachers are absolutely killing it to the point that I can work my regular hours, from home, just about uninterrupted because they’ve put so much original content out on Google Classroom and the like that my kids actually want do the work, and they’re still giving my kids any one-on-one help they need through FaceTime. We also get daily updates and new supplemental packets delivered each week, plus Zoom-type meetings for group activities. I can’t imagine how much time it’s taking for them to adapt all their lessons for distance learning and spend so much extra effort communicating about it, but they can’t realistically be working any fewer hours. We’re not at some crazy high-dollar day school or anything either.
There are always those parents who aren’t hurting financially yet are still going to make a comment about wanting their fees prorated for just about anything, but this is one of those situations where it’s happened a lot less than usual, and you’re frankly embarrassed for them the few times it comes up.

Did you mean to say Orleans, Jefferson and EBR parishes? Because many of the other parishes in south Louisiana have great public schools.

No they’re not. Those schools aren’t even listed as being in the Birmingham School District.
Some of those schools, like Spain Park, are in a different county than Birmingham.
