Nothing like someone starting a thread, asking a question, with preconceived answers but then keep asking the same question in different ways to get the answer you finally wanted just so you can claim racism.
Also, I lived in Magnolia Woods(Nice middle class neighbor hood) when my two kids were in elementary/middle/high school. So you tell me if you had the money for private school you would still send your kids to Kenilworth middle and McKinley high? Hell no you wouldn’t.
It’s not my fault those public schools have a horrible learning environment. I hate paying for private school but I also feel there is no choice in EBR and an investment into their future.

Public schools in south loosaiana have become nothing more than extreme minimum security prison.

Can we ban this guy? Seriously. What a loser. Starts a thread acting innocent but ends up using it to push his stupid poli board ideals. Go back to Oklahoma we don’t want you here

I grew up in Jefferson Parish, always went to public schools, many of my friends went to private Catholic schools, we are talking 60s and 70s, pre-integration. Dad is a native of NO, attended Holy Cross. Very easily could have attended a private Catholic school but didn't want to. High schools, public and private, back in the day were separated by gender much less race.
Was it a race thing? Likely not as this was pre-integration. I always believed it to be religious education and still do. Did it become a race thing? Possibly but I doubt that as it cost money AND schools had gender segregation.
Possibly race for some, I guess, but the quality of the education more likely. Believe it or not but public schools were pretty decent back in the day. Has integration changed them, sure, but so have many other factors. Mother taught in Jefferson Parish public schools and never heard a complaint about minority kids, not one, but other stuff, such as unions saddened her teaching experience.

You clearly went on a witch hunt here. Glad it didn't work out for you.
ETA: And if you think the catholic education approach is because people are racist, you don't know much about Louisiana. I went to public school, and there were a lot of racist people, both black and white. Some of the best people I knew in college were catholic school products. They'd give the shirt off their back to anyone in need, regardless of skin color.
Racism is not proportional to the amount of money one makes. And to characterize a school because of some asinine preconcieved notion is sad. There are shitty people at every school. Some are just shitty people from shitty families with a lot of money.

Easy to say when it's not your kids. Could you wave a magic wand, put all private school families in a public and improve it? Sure. Even then, I have issues with the lack of parent controls in EBR. You would have to move to ISDs to see a substantial improvement.
But there isn't a magic wand and I'm not sacrificing my children's potential to make a social statement and fix the problems the government created generations ago.

Over 26% of kids in Baton Rouge and New Orleans attend private school. Only 2.6% of kids in San Antonio, Houston, Austin, Dallas attend private school.
That tells you all you needed to know, much better schools

Yeah, look at the schools that are right outside Birmingham. Vestavia, Mountain Brook, Spain Park, etc are so far above anything in Southern Louisiana besides the schools you have to test to get into (BRHS, Ben Franklin) and Lusher, which is kind of its own unique entity.
Oh, you mean large, community-based ISDs are successful?
I think I remember an area around BR trying to do this and being labeled as racist and everyother nonsensical thing under the sun before being absolutely stonewalled by the status quo.
And, while those school are very good, they still aren't on the level of some the Catholic schools in NOLA and BR.

I didn’t go through all these pages so it may have been said but I am saying it anyway. The private school is an additional tax. That said, we sent ours through Episcopal and now Catholic high school.
I say that in the respect of not many great options unless your child can score a very high percentage on standard tests to get into the magnet schools, and there are not too many.
This is, along with whoever is governer at the time, has a lot to do with the decisions of a company moving here and telling their employees, btw, you might need to spend another X amount on school. Employee coming here, use to send their kids to public school and now has to pay those taxes and then send 3 kids to private school.

Public schools suck arse, most time simply because of the erosion of the ability to control the students who are disruptive.
At a private school, the kids have to bust their arse to keep up.
In a public school, the teacher is FORCED to slow down for the kids who cant/wont keep up
That's the biggest difference, IMO
My kids go to a very hard academic school. Not because they are brilliant, but because I want the to have to bust arse to keep up.

Catholic/Christian/religious instruction
Better discipline
More accountability (private, so no unions and no tenure)

Oh yeah, the people who can afford to give their kids a good education are the idiots. You really think our public school systems would do the right thing with that same money that families are putting into private school tuition? This is Louisiana.
A proposed tax that would have provided for pay raises for teachers in St. Landry parish got voted down this past year. Why? Because the people in those schools recognized the existing mismanagement of money, and refused to put more in. Even teachers were opposing the measure.

Baton Rouge would be an amazing city and school system if it were not for desegregation ruling.

It predates the shitty public school issue as many of the Catholic schools have been open since the 1800s. I think NOLA is the second oldest Catholic diocese in the US. They be always been around in significant numbers.
