I wouldnt wish Alabama on my best enemy…

And let’s add racist economic attrition to this. So a number of schools down here are funded by how many students they serve. Down in Mobile, the inner city schools enrollments are capped for the majority black schools at between 6-800. The white schools in the suburbs regularly have well over 12-1300 students. So that means more funding, and, their principals make more money as principals are paid by how many students their schools serve.

The school I worked at, my first year we had a stabbing in the bathroom, the next year we had a shooting where a girl shot two boys. When the shots went off, I locked the door and pulled a hammer out of my desk (just in case), but we were sitting ducks. Why? Because our school was designed in 1980 and the classrooms have tiny windows at the top that have burglar bars on the outside. So there is no escape out of the windows. Lord forbid a fire happens. Not to mention we had rats that would regularly interrupt classes. The infrastructure was falling apart, not to mention gross mismanagement of funds donated by alumni.

We have to go to this Advanced Placement training in this town called Trussville outside of Alabama, and I drive to the campus in awe. Hewitt-Trussville High School looks like a damn college campus. Students have a damn lounge, the football team has their own nutritionist, no graffiti, still had lockers, basically had an environment conducive to learning.

So what I am saying is that even in the 48th state ranked educationally, racism further skewers the numbers and the divide between the haves and have nots grows every year.

It’s about to get even worse now that they can take public dollars to Christian private schools. This might be the death of traditional public school systems in Alabama

Public schools was never the answer and it was always going to happen like this because you just can't trust people to divide resources fairly. Governments cannot be trusted.

I agree with this 100%
Trusting people who hate you to be responsible for the education of your children, your most precious resource, was one of the dumbest and poorly thought out tenents of the 60s inegrationists.

You know that in the state the school districts are set by the county or city right?
You do know that the biggest cry in the DNC areas is for there to be caps on student and class room sizes so more teachers can be hired and they can claim a lower student to teacher ration. You do realize that in your conservative suburbs they don't care about teacher rations more than effective teaching so thats why ou generally get that split right?

You are trying to blame DNC and teacher union policies on racism, but don't understand the cause of what you hate.
You blame student safety, which would be the same anywhere you shelter in place, baracade the door and wait for police, on schools built in the 80s, as if that changes the protocol, but not on the aint shyt students who are bringing guns to the school, the parents of these kids, or the first step in defense, failure of metal detectors right? LOL.

Trussville isn't outside of Alabama, you are supposedly a teach, but don't know the difference between being outside of Birmingham vs being outside of the state of Alabama. SMH

Any analysis of what you are saying shows why most of alabama schools, especially in black and DNC areas aren't shyt. You have personnel that are largely ignorant and DNC aligned that care more about trying to score political points and teacher union policy objectives than rationaly addresing the root cause of the issues.

What the fukk are you talking about? DNC? Democratic National Convention? What the fukk does that have to with this? Democrats have no sway in Alabama. I didn’t bring up teacher unions; this response sounds like it was made by chatGPT.

The reason I brought up Trussville was to highlight the economic inequities that exist in my state. Next time, if you respond, do it on your own and leave the bots out of this

 

[Easy-E]

Black people did everything we could to get out of the South and everything was done to stop us... smh

This is the government screwing people over

Yes the DNC, dno, democrats.
The democrats have 100 percent of the say in Democrat counties and cities. You probably need to take a civics lesson to brush up how state of Alabama government works.

You brought up Trussville separate non bham school district and said it was outside of Alabama. Are you retarded?

I had to travel there for an in-state conference. I brought it up like I brought up Saraland, to show the discrepancies between funding and policies between the two. If you can’t understand that, Bless your heart.

You said it was out of the state my man.

I meant outside of Birmingham. Obviously you could pick up on that.

Lol that's literally my point, you want to be taken as an authority but aren't even aware that difference between a city and the state.

Smh.

Also you want to know why bham schools are terrible it the folks that the constituency elects to run their schools. What political party are they. What political party dominates Jefferson county?
