re: Who here is against St George?

What if St. George proponents said OK BR, y'all get the mall of LA...would the proposal be acceptable? If those people found some sort of revenue neutral proposal for both sides what would the opinions be?

Interesting because the wealthy were moving into the Parish. While the lower middle class were leaving.

You're actually willing to live in Livingston Parish? Some of us prefer civilization to meth labs. Baton Rouge, despite is flaws, is still a city -- and thus will always draw a segment of the population that doesn't want to live in shitty suburbs.

Totally agree. Why are the BR schools bad? Because all of the parents of high achieving kids pulled their kids out and sent them to private school or moved out of parish. Those are the people to blame. The kids left in public school in BR were always there.

I moved out after college when i got a job. now i'm moving back now that i have money, but mainly b/c i don't want my kid going to public school, regardless of being in Livingston or Ascension. and since the private schools are in BR, i'm heading back into town, most likely into St. George area.

This is am interesting stat and I am glad you had me reread the article last night...but I am unsure if the wealthy are all that should be worried about here. Influx of wealthy means influx of those capable and predisposed to sending their kids to private school anyway. I think those making less than 100k/yr are a better indicator since they are more likely to depend on public schools

I thought forced busing was the demise of BR neighborhood public schools?

So it's not the peoples fault for not wanting their kids bused and moving them to private schools. It was the system that effed BR up.

Pretty much. And I understand their desire to have better schools for their kids. IMO, the way to do that is for the school system as a whole to eliminate the forced segregation and busing.

A fair point that I had forgotten about. I guess it was the Feds who screwed us.

That makes too much sense to happen.

That's the case in urban areas all over the south. FHA loans, cheap fuel, interstate highways, and other enablers of sprawl would not have accomplished what has occurred in the past 50 years without the well intentioned, but poorly executed integration of public schools.
Of course the private schools and suburban real estate developers loved it. Middle class areas with decent public schools remain stable and desirable for a long time. Without a vibrant downtown, a beautiful college campus, or architecturally distinctive neighborhoods that attract young professionals.....middle class neighborhoods are dependent on decent public schools.

It was already done.

And the funny part there is that the school system is now more segregated than ever.

I didn't say thats where IIiiii would go ha. Northshore is probably the most viable public option. Central and Zachary are good, but if I leave st.George area I'm not going to stay in the parish.

Jackson, Detroit, and Memphis. Three Crown Jewels everyone should be comfortable in settling for.
