Moss issue at http://www.theind.com , comment 1 to 7 out of 7 comments http://www.theind.com Sat, 25 May 2013 13:15:02 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7401-school-board-revoting-on-np-moss-issue#comment-12992 SHOTGUN -- All that requires more effort and initiative from the government. How about if we just do NOTHING for poor performing students. Free market will naturally pay them exaclty what they're worth, they'll make themselves more or less marketable as THEY see fit, and we can not spend all that tax money trying to "fix" what can't be fixed. There's those old sayings your pappy prolly used to tell you--things like "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink". Then there's the one I heard about 10 times a day growing up -- "Boy--you just can't fix stupid". May not be politically correct, but that's just plain true. - ragin_cajun Mon, 06 Dec 2010 10:43:10 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7401-school-board-revoting-on-np-moss-issue#comment-12991 Seems to me that the school board is lacking in common sense and logic!!! With only about 50 students currently enrolled in Thib HS, apologize and step out gracefully so you can keep your promise to the other 100,000 students in parish schools to provide worthwhile educational experiences!!! - rgb64 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 10:40:25 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7401-school-board-revoting-on-np-moss-issue#comment-12974 SOLUTION FOR POOR PERFOMANCE STUDENTS, Prison terms for all parents of poor grade performance students and place the kids in Ward Of The State Institutions and those who cannot learn, APPRENTICESHIPS AS PLUMBERS, CARPENTERS, AND BFI EMPLOYEES OR "TRAIN EM AS POLITICIANS ! - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Sun, 05 Dec 2010 09:23:24 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7401-school-board-revoting-on-np-moss-issue#comment-12943 This is what your academy High Schools are doing: Taking the funds meant for many, and providing it for few, with no results to show for it. A Vo Tech won't fix this, spread the money to all students, get rid of the academies and teach core subjects. School is for learning. Year AchievementRanking Budget 2006----16 out of 71-----$176.7 Million 2007----20 out of 71-----$190.1 2008----25 out of 71-----$199.0 2009----22 out of 71-----$221.8 2010----24 out of 71-----$227.3 Budget keeps going up------ Scores keep going down. Lemoine & Hefner's solution: Turn everyone into plumbers. The correct solution: Hire a proven superintendent. Fire principals at poor performing schools and hire effective ones. Incentive pay for teachers to teach at poor performing schools Thank God Mike Hefner is leaving the school board. He has single handedly ruined the education system for our children. - failingschools Fri, 03 Dec 2010 16:10:36 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7401-school-board-revoting-on-np-moss-issue#comment-12898 They certainly had an agenda, AS ALL POLITICO'S GROOMIMG FOR POLITICS, AND PRACTICING THE ART OF DECEPTION, what is it with this parish administrators, behaving like the Tangipahoa's Finest, all of a sudden going to the pits, from the closeted back room politics of DUREL, and his kissass councilman, now everyone wants in on the act.....

With that being said, Moss is not being used properly. Over sixty percent of that school is not being utilized, and the school is practically new. As a black male, I feel schools such as Moss who have been underachieving for a while or due for change. I applaud groups like the 100 Black Men, but kids may benefit from a new setting a change in enviroment. It is evident by the numbers that a large portion of parents have chosen to seek other schools out. - beheard Thu, 02 Dec 2010 15:18:55 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7401-school-board-revoting-on-np-moss-issue#comment-12892 School Board member have taken a play out of the Lafayette Housing Authority play book. In a direct attempt to violate the open meeting law. School board member Greg Awbery talk about transparency when Dr. Easton was their. Know that Dr. Easton is going. Transparency does not apply to King Greg and his company men's and Queen Bee Rae Trahan. Greg it should not apply when it is convenient. Transpaency should always always be used as the big light in goverment. That the way goverment should work and must work. Pratice what you preach buddy. - Don't Trust The School Board Thu, 02 Dec 2010 14:19:30 +0100
