How can we assure we get our own children good jobs, "Over heard muttered from the mouth of Laf. Parish Top Administrator.

He stated that Lafayette Parish is doing exactly what was depicted in that documentary by offering twenty Schools of Choice. But that's only half the story. What he didn't say is that Lafayette also has a lottery and as a result many of our children's educational achievement is a matter of luck. That is because more than one-third of our schools are rated a "D" and one is an "F". Losing the lottery is more than a missed opportunity to attend a School of Choice. Losing may result in a student staying in one of the D-F schools which is frequently the path to low expectations, low achievement and results in a drop out. That's why we need to quantify outcomes. Then we'll be in a position to properly allocate our resources to achieve the best possible results for all our students. - Gary McGoffin Mon, 24 Jan 2011 08:15:46 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/7637-pooyie-011911#comment-14098 LeBouef, Don't come here with your republican crap to try to defend that worthless "never in Louisiana" governor.

Let this discussion show both sides. - C. J. LeBouef Wed, 19 Jan 2011 11:42:20 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/7637-pooyie-011911#comment-14076 WHAT???? Gov Jindal grandstanding???? Gov Jindal, "the Second Coming" Gov Jindal? Gov Jindal, the man who has doen SO MUCH TO MAKE LOUISIANA A BETTER STATE???? Certainly there must be an error. Talk about "teflon"... This little man, and I do mean little in EVERY way, is supposed to have so much intelligence... All I can figure out is, it must be in a classroom. Give me a "common sense" man any day if this governor is the poster boy for intelligence. - BoFred Wed, 19 Jan 2011 05:25:18 +0100
