Its a catch 22. The school would be empty if not for those kids
it would be now because of decades of shipping other kids to the neighborhood schools. quote:thats not true at all. EBR shipping kids in wasnt because they needed the people. It was because they wanted to bring NBR student into better schools. Which led to better students leaving those schools because of shenanigans.
.If more and more parents from the surrounding neighborhoods sent their kids then wouldn't EBR be forced to either

When was Belaire a good school? When Richard Pryor was filming "The Toy" in BR?

I knew middle class white kids that went there in the early 90s. It wasn't as good as Lee, Tara, Woodlawn but nothing like it is now. We had a few kids leave Central Private around 1992-1993 to go to Belaire to follow our baseball coach there

As a desegregation kid from the early 80s who went to 3 different schools from 9th-12th grade (Belaire HS grad), I’m still waiting for an opportune moment to hunt up that old bastard’s grave and take a steaming dump on it.

I had friends and family that went there in the late 80's - early 90's. Every one of them I knew were huge potheads and all lived around stevendale and Riveroaks. It was a "Neighborhood school" back then but still was nowhere on par with Woodlawn and Tara.
It was equivalent to Lee High and Broadmoor. Which isnt saying much I went to Broadmoor then thank God my folks moved and I got to attend the old Woodlawn with Mikee.

I went to Central HS during the deseg days. Luckily we were geographically isolated enough that probably only 15% of the kids there were bussed in. I do remember a guy in HS from Scotlandville that had 3 kids in the 11th grade

It’s no longer STEM, it’s STEAM.
Those cocksuckers but Arts in the fricking program!

In Jackie Robinson's autobiography, he said his little girl wouldn't learn one bit better just because she sat next to a little white girl.
Yeah, CSB.

I'm talking about now. There is no forced bussing anymore.

To think that if EBRPSS didn’t suck so bad, Dutchtown High might no longer exist

Yeah, the damage is already done.

Him and his local/national naacp "support team" should be very proud of how quickly and completely they DESTROYED public education in EBRP ! Local/national media should do a nice follow-up piece on their 'good work' before the rest of the assholes die off !
Sadly, these irresponsible morons will NEVER be 'held to task' just like the engineer who signed off on the I-10 MS river bridge, one lane abomination !

Yep, my older brother went there for one year in the late 70’s/early 80’s. He could walk to school and even eat breakfast there. My mom said it was wonderful. That was the only year he ever attended public school though. I am 6 years younger and only attended private schools.

The kids that get kicked outta BR High (for grades) all end up at McKinley.
Also a lot of kids get declared as gifted and talented to go to McKinley to join the marching band.

Mayfair is where teachers who can't have it in other districts go

I live in University Acres (not far from Magnolia Wood), and we have an elementary school in the neighborhood.
Highland Elementary used to be a very good school, and was a feeder school for Glasgow (later Kenilworth) and Lee High.

If all the good kids leave the school it will be worse. If the good kids return it will be better.
If you mix a half a gallon of horseshite with four and a half gallons of ice cream you don't end up with five gallons of ice cream, you end up with five gallons of horse shite.
The problem is that the bad students whose parents dgaf not only drag down the school but they drag down some of the good students as well. A parent's prime responsibility isn't to the school, it's to their child.
The schools have some control over this by allowing discipline, the problem is that with our overly litigious society you end up with far too many administrators who would rather err on the side of fiscal caution (or at least just don't want to deal with Tammy Sue's meth-addled squawking or Shawquahthentyl's showing up wanting to throw hands because a teacher had the audacity to make their precious boo-boo-bear feel bad because they got onto them for punching another student.
Fix that and you begin fixing the schools.
