The ONLY way to fix the public school behavior problem is to link any family's welfare benefits to the value of public school education. Any suspension or expulsion from school results in equivalent suspension of welfare benefits.
I GUARANTEE immediate decrease of public school behavior issues by 85%.

Did this exodus start to happen because Baker started looking into having its own school district in 1991 with most done around 1995, or because creating their own district took so long to happen including negotiations with Justice, NAACP, & EBRSD in regards to the long standing desegregation case? It seems like by the time it was approved by judge in 2002 and district starting in 2003-2004 a large number of the original families & residents pushing for district and seemingly proud of being from Baker schools had long since moved away from Baker.


Answer bolded.

In addition, both Baker and Zachary bolted at the same time but Zachary had a stronger tax base to start with and a lot of businesses which were in Baker come the mid-90s soon moved to Zachary.

Zachary doesn't have the demographic issues of Baker, meaning both racial and economic.


While Baker's about 52% black and 46% white, the school system is 96% minority and 89% eligible for free lunches, meaning you get the lowest economic strata of society in those schools.

Zachary's 70% white but the school system is 55% minority (52% black, 45% white) and "only" 46% of students are eligible for free lunch, meaning you get more of a mix of poor and affluent kids rather than concentrated culcha.



The numbers suggest any problem isn't reflected directly in the case of who lives in the area but who lives in the area that has or will have children in the school system.

People will move from elsewhere to Zachary in order to get kids into that school because those schools have been the highest rated in LA for over a decade.

People in Baker with means are either looking to move elsewhere or are sending their kids to private schools in BR. Redemptorist used to be a popular destination for kids in that part of the parish before it closed.

I grew up in Central which was pretty much the same case. Central always had different demographic and income levels than Baker.

I forgot Helmet Head’s real name. Can’t go look at the idiot in action. Someone give me a first letter or two of her name.

See if you can find the difference between Baker and the other 2 school systems that broke away.

Spilt into school and most definitely should be out on the streets by midnight. That is what leftist loonies like Helmet Head do not get. That is why you lock em up now...rehabbing comes later. If at all. But they had a CLEAR fricking choice. To quote The Departed -- You don't fricking hit him.

I wish some of these HH and KB types would get off of Facebook and go down to these high crime areas and "make a difference".


Jesus christ.. It was a fight.

Am I the only one who thinks its normal for teenagers to fight every once in awhile? I am not saying its right, I am just saying.. You have a bunch of hormones kicking in at that age, shite happens. The news doesn't do any favors by making this a news story.

Apparently they don’t have Minority to Majority transfers where you live. Good thing EBR does. Now they can wake up at 3:30am, catch 4 buses, and frick up schools outside of their district.

I expect something similar, when St.Louis City schools go back to school.

shite is so bad, that they asked that a volunteer be at every bus stop, so kids would feel safe. LOLOLOL

Working and chasing kids. Just saw the hawks nest is closing so I’m trying to keep my composure.

This is the third post you have made in this thread saying "It was just a fight". Are you repeating it because you are being ignored, or does the memory of duking it out with the other Green Devils get you so excited that you can't help it? How many times did you have to bow up and stomp some arse?
