I generally agree with other commentary posted. The problems w/ the EBR school system are at least as old as me - 50 years. My parents were teachers here and worked with inept management and awful politics. Yes, it became worse after Judge John Parker. It seems that the magnet programs have helped, but we have compound decades of the legacy to overcome. The teachers suffer, the children suffer, our community and economy suffers. It developed into a downward spiral, but I have hopes that the situation has started to improve some. I'm not sure who's worse - the school board or the metro council!
