Well, we must live in different school districts.

Around here, every move by the school administrators is headline news. Of course, being under federal watch for decades for failure to desegregate makes the scrutiny more (but that's another story).

Getting some small number of their actions in the newspapers does nothing. Those stories are all about the POLITICS of the school systems, not the details of the programs, which are VERY closely held among the "education professionals".

I lived in South Louisiana from birth, through the onset of "desegregation", until 1995, and I watched the destruction of the public school system at the hands of the federal judges. The effect they have had on the educational system has NOT been positive.
