only 27% of eighth graders in Louisiana public schools were proficient or better in reading, and only 23% were proficient or better in math.

Makes sense once you realize the teachers aren't any more proficient in reading or math either.

Education sucks, but it’s mainly the parents, or lack of them

83% are proficient in knowing whitey is racist and policy hunt black males.

Anyone paying attention knows public schools are not being underfunded.

No. The bigger issues are the abhorrent world views that public schools have to bear, teacher unions, and to a lesser extent family life.

On what? My 5th graders didn’t have a single textbook or workbook, and I had to buy a lot of my own copy paper.

Imagine if the nuclear family still had a stay at home parent who ran the house and managed all material that came into the purview if their children...

For many families that’s not economically feasible though unfortunately. The 50s and post WW2 boom America experienced is over and over the past few decades we’ve gutted the middle class in order to do handouts to the bottom and the top.

That’s so bizarre how they’d take that position, and what the frick does it have to do with black people being killed by police? I thought that was the whole point of BLM was to combat "police brutality" but then they started pushing all sorts of crap like that.

48% of 8th graders in Catholic schools were proficient.

This was a nationwide number - still concerning though - but there are some really terrible (ghetto & redneck) Catholic schools out there

Ghetto = a few in New Orleans and Baton Rouge I can think of


Red neck = some of the mission schools run by priests in Appalachia

That money should be spent on neutering the stupid.

Some of you older guys may remember this story. Back over 20 years ago in New Orleans there was a shooting, one kid who was 10 had a friend pass a gun through the fence so it would not pass the metal detector, went in the school, shot an 11 year old, who then took the gun from him and chased him through the school shooting at him.

The parents showed up screaming my babies, my babies. The super showed up and said. Due to funding we had to close one school and merge the two, both had separate housing projects and we knew there would be trouble and posted notes in the projects to that effect. We have metal detectors at the fence line, barbed wire, in house security and stepped up patrols from the cops.

Still, fights started breaking out and we posted notes for a parent teacher school meeting.....no one bothered. Now we have children shot. Who the frick raises a 10 year old and sees no abnormal behavior when they are driven to the point of bringing a gun to school and shoot someone. We are not the parents/guardians/maid/cook for your kids..THATS YOUR JOB.

The breakdown of the nuclear family, teacher unions, and the infamous "dear colleague" letter from the obama administration has turned most inner city schools into day care centers.
