louisiana poor school system?

Well, it's not one school system, it's many.  Some are very poor, and some are very good.  I graduated from a school system that sends many students on to Ivy League schools and has a very strong academic reputation.  I taught in a school system that has a very poor reputation and has many students who struggle with remedial classes at the local colleges.

No Child Left Behind is a joke.  The perception is that more money is the solution.  Offer private school vouchers and watch the cost become a fraction of what it does now.

well every person has to have top grade education for free. but the no child left behind is only focused on a random choice of people. im doing bad, and my teacher says," fail, we dont care." and another teacher told me," do something like drugs or do anyhting illegal, but dont disturb the class!!!"

It's not working because it wasn't written by educators. It was written by beaurocrats.\n\nThe only way to fix the educational system is to let educators write the laws. Not the beaurocrats.

Even if you are not eligible for any free programs your local social services can still direct you. And if all else fails call your local high school or community college and ask them.\nI did some research on this question and found a web site that has many contacts that can put you in the right direction. Here is what I found if all else fails;\n\nhttp://www.aypf.org/forumbriefs/2002/fb072602.htm \n\nWhere there is a will there is a way. Good luck with your education :-)

I am in agreement with Sassy_91. The parochial school my daughter attended had financial assistance for those who could not afford the tuition.  \n\nCheck with the registrar(s) of the school(s) you are considering.  If it is a Roman Catholic school, you may want to contact the Education Dept of the Diocese/Archdiocese.\n\nRead the link provided.  There is a book listed about the subject your question addresses.

no.  it punishes schools that are doing a decent job by expecting ALL schools to live up to an impossible goal.  why not penalize just the schools that are inferior?  honestly, when you look at the average school population (severely mentally handicapped, etc.) how exactly do you expect EVERY child to be performing on grade level by 2013?

You should be able to contact the State Department of Education for guidance in providing what ou need for setting up an organization or umbrella program for these types of needs.  A local Christian school might be a great alternative to begin researching your questions and needs as well.  You might also consider a Teacher's Resource outlet store in your area as they may have all the materials you would need to begin the process.  Just some ideas.  May God bless your endeavors.

The main reason I beleive is Population Levels. If you look at states like Montana, Wisconsin, and so forth, they dont have nearly as much population as lets say LA, or New York. While schools in low population states have less students with a good amount of teachers, schools here in LA and other major cities are stuffed with students, and very few teachers. So whats the best choice the government has?. Well different types of education, for different type of regions. More text work for big  classes, more teacher friendly approach to classes with less students. which in turn means less money spent, less paper work, more time to concentrate on education.

The Special School District of St. Louis County, Mo., provides special education services for all St. Louis County students with disabilities from ages 3-21, and technical education at two technical high schools to students - the majority of whom are general education students - in St. Louis County and St. Louis City.\n\nMore than 27,000 students with disabilities receive special education services from SSD, with approximately 95 percent receiving those services in their local school district from an SSD staff member. SSD also annually performs more than 100,000 screenings and evaluations for area students.\n\nTechnical education is offered in more than 30 areas of concentration. Programs at the technical high schools are open to all 10th-12th-grade students from the 23 public school districts in St. Louis County, as well as the St. Louis Public School District. Current enrollment is about 1,800 students. In addition, several satellite programs are in place at business, community and school locations throughout the metropolitan area.\n\nhttp://www.pearsoned.com/pr_2002/053102.htm\n\nHope this helps!\n~Tia~

My daughter goes to a private elementary school in Oklahoma.  We have found that if you ask around, a lot of churches are willing to offer scholarships.  Also, you may be able to work at the school as a volunteer for a subsidized cost.  (help clean, read, or teach)  It doesn't hurt to ask.

Low income families I would think.

Most records and literature I have read has said Mississippi is the poorest state in the United States. \n\nI don't think is has changed in the last 5-10 years. The per capital income is lower there than any other state, also they lag in health care.\n\nI hope that this information has been of some use to you, good luck

Great question.  You must also consider the fact that most of these schools were so academically poor, you have to ask whether parents in New Orleans even want their children educated.  I think that the schools that are getting ready to open will be environmentally safe before the new school year, but it remains to be seen if these schools can actually provide a quality education.  I drive by Warren Easton on a regular basis and I can only hope the school will put as much effort into curriculum as they are into fixing the school.

They can't do it. It costs $18,000 to educate one child for one year in California.  Do the math.  We subsidize the poor, and only let in the amount of poor we are willing to subsidize.  Every penny spent on someone above the amount let in legally was stolen from those who subsidize those services.  It is not just a matter of 'what if they paid taxes appropriate to their income group' since the point is that services for that income group are mostly paid for by others, which is why we limit the number that can come in.  \n\nThat is why it is such a problem.
