Which takes federal funding. FAPE applies which means they must abide by 504 and IDEA laws.

Exactly. The demographic in NOLA/BR isn't exactly the demographic you're going to see in schools across the country. It all depends on where you are, grade level, etc

I know it's controversial, but I think we need to segregate kids, not by race, but by personality.
We catch the bad kids in kindergarden, make a note, if by second they don't improve they go to an alternative third grade that will teach in a more basic style and center around skills needed for trades and interactions with others.
If the kids show improvement or aptitude by sixth grade they can test back into normal school. A similar but more focused approach would be used in middle school to pre-screen kids for aptitudes.
I think a huge problem, and I say this as a public school grad, is that 50% of the kids in public school want to drop out and make learning harder for others. Maybe not 50% but Of my freshman class of 476 I think 280 graduated.
Stop focusing on averages and standardized testing. frick what other countries do.
Keep the bad apples out of the bunch, but catch them well before they are full of worms.

won't ever work
the way the people who run schools see it, they're rather destroy the educations of 95% of the children to give the 5% who are doing the destroying a better chance of success. that isn't how they describe it, but that's what reality is
sadly, the disproportionate amount of resources used on that 5% pretty much never works, so all the children lose
this is one of the few areas in politics that i get legit angry about

You don't really believe it is your calling, or the money wouldn't matter

Disparate impact laws make that impossible.
