In EBR, they won’t allow us to send disruptive students to the office unless they are fighting. Moreover, we don’t record disciplinary referrals in JCampus but instead on a school created referral sheet so that our numbers for tardies, skipping, discipline look better.

I teach in EBR. Cell phones are out of control along with other devices…smartwatches, earbuds, IPads, etc. I collect phones as students enter my class. Yes, there is push back at first from the kids but they get over it. The other problem concerning cell phones are teachers who don’t enforce the rule because it’s “too hard” or they are on their cell phones as well. It’s super fun!

But, EBR has bigger problems with teacher vacancies, teachers having cover classes because many teachers were no shows, students skipping class, tardiness, or simply roaming the halls all hour. Then, administration wants to know why test scores are low! Really? It’s bizarro world!!

I would say the general population doesn’t understand, but they do. That’s why we have so many kids going private schools in Baton Rouge, Ascension parish has grown, and now, St. George.

It’s really a shame that EBR can’t do the simplest of things. Add hiring a new superintendent to the growing list.

1979 is GenX

We became allies with Russia only after Germany invaded Russia- Battle of Stalingrad. Hitler broke the non-aggression pact with Stalin.
