On yesterday? Is that correct grammar? Why not just say Yesterday?

Talking to people from out of state about this is always funny because they are so stunned by it. The majority of the middle class going to private school is unheard of in many other places. Private school is something only the rich do.

They don't really understand you basically cannot send your kids to public school here, minus a few magnet/charter outliers.

My suspicion is the only successful model for struggling inner city schools is boarding schools. You have to remove young impressionable minds from their toxic environment. I just don’t see anything like this ever happening, but it’s the only way I can see how you break this cycle.



Thrive Academy on Brightside is like this. The kids go home on Friday and come back Sunday evening. Sleep there Sunday-Thursday. They come from various parts of the area - not just BR.

I don't recall their rating/test scores being all that great, but I believe they have a lot of kids in AP classes and whatnot. It's really not a bad idea, IMO.

Chauna Banks is an idiot racist, and doesn’t attempt to hide either.

So her grand idea, is to move teachers whose students perform. . .to classrooms that are the worst performers, in the worst performing schools?

And to do this yearly?

I can save her the trouble of a long term study. This ends with all the good teachers going private, charter, or out of the district.

You are welcome, Ms Banks.

I have to laugh, because most of the people I know who are who are mad at EBRPSS are the same people that tried to torpedo St. George. All the gifted and talented and magnet parents and teachers just got hit with a bit of reality in the face. They sided with the mayor and their cronies like good liberals and attacked St. George as racists. Now they are racists. (Even the ones who are minorities are racist now too)

I do know her personally. I've known her for over 10 years. Truth = she is that dumb. Just is.

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.

My mama would say, “There are ONLY two days that matter when a job get tough. She asked, “Do you know what they are?” I would guess, “Saturday and Sunday”! She would respond, “No. The only two days that matter on a job are PAYDAY and OFFDAY!”


This mindset, is the exact reason why you have such a large portion of "culture" that fall in the same loop of failure.

As her "mama" instilled into her, only thing that matters is that paycheck. If you don't take pride in your work, and practice some personal responsibility, then this will rub off on your kids/students and they too, won't give a shite.

It's frightening that Chauna is in a position of "leadership" in the Baton Rouge city government. That loser mentality is why BR is such a shithole.

That is liberalism. Liberals aren't trying to raise anyone up. They are just trying to drag everyone else down as a form of "equity".

There's no fix. After elementary school the pattern is established. Taking a teacher from a school where they are happy, and growing some sort of extracurricular club or team and moving them to a school that has no funding or admin support is just dumb. All it does is take decent teachers and push toward other jobs.

I see her post being shared in anger on FB by the few white people I know who have kids in the magnet and gifted programs in EBRPSS. Also sharing it is my white, progressive friends who teach in this white guilt bubble trying to change the world.

So overall... this looks like something white people got mad about.

Wooo boy. Y'all done fricked up now.

Idiots like her tend to get elected through spreading the cheddar around to the voters.

Bought and paid for voters are a reliable enough bloc that it is hard to beat when you are in a low turnout district.

I’m convinced that every few months she says something ridiculous to stay relevant or something

Chauna Banks
Teresa La'Rae I don't plan it, but it does appear that people are overly engaged in my viewpoints. I just don't have the time to be receptacle. MY page is dedicated to me sharing my thoughts on relevant topics, not necessary for a response. But, I understand sometimes people can't help themselves and that's cool!
