The bill's biggest problem may have been its author. Nelson is not good at making friends. He is often right, but is incapable of building support for his ideas because of his abrasive nature.
“For nonconformity the world whips you with its displeasure. And therefore a man must know how to estimate a sour face. The by-standers look askance on him in the public street or in the friend’s parlour. If this aversation had its origin in contempt and resistance like his own, he might well go home with a sad countenance; but the sour faces of the multitude, like their sweet faces, have no deep cause, but are put on and off as the wind blows and a newspaper directs.” Emerson
People in Louisiana don't want good government. They want pretty-good government.

Franklin Foil has to be run out of office next election. He’s a worthless piece of dog shite.

Only to those who follow the gen ed curriculum. In MS, if a SPED student has been retained one year, they get a special exemption
At current, the La pupil progression plan states that a student can only be held back once in elementary and once in 5-8. SPED student can be promoted through SBLC/IEP. However, it becomes a committee decision. This law cannot supersede IDEA. I haven’t read deep into this law which should’ve passed, but I doubt sped was even a thought. It should be considering the insanely high amount of sped and 504 students are in Louisiana schools.

All that may be true, but Nelson's biggest flaw is refusing to recognize that he isn't a king, and he can't get a great idea through the process when nobody likes him or wants to work with him.

Growing up in BR, it was obivous that public schools were a night mare. But I didn’t know how bad it was until I got in a relationship with a teacher in the EBR Public school system and holy hellll it’s worse than any of us realize…
To us, this is a setback and failure of the education system. To the people on the school boards, it’s a win and a positive. I always thought you had to pass your current grade to graduate to the next. Not even close. In EBR, you can only hold back a kid once in their entire academic career. A kid can fail every year and still will graduate with just 1 year of being held back.
It’s insane.

Before Katrina they had grade 4.5 and grade 8.5, where if you failed math or reading but not both, you'd be assigned to an intensive remediation class to bring you up to grade level.
This didn’t work for shite.
This:

I think this bill would be helpful,
I agree
but NOT having it on the books doesn’t preclude parents, school administrators, and teachers from working together toward the outcomes stated in the proposed bill.
The response would be too lengthy. There is just way too much to unpack.

Gif needs illiterate voters. Dems are good at keeping their followers that way.

HB12 passed out of the House today 88-15
Heard him on Brian Haldane yesterday. Really like this and his view on paying down debt. Don’t screw it up, Senate.

Certain segments of the population would prefer to be behind Mississippi when it comes to educating children
