The impact of St. George on Baton Rouge

I doubt people who moved out of BR would then move back to SG. A more realistic scenario would involve people living in BR moving to SG.

On a surface level, I dont think the average joe in BR will notice much of anything. North BR will suck and be a dump because the people there dont give a shite about anything. South BR will continue to be the same. You will have good areas and pockets of bad areas. My neighborhood isnt nice because of the government. Its because we wont let it turn into North BR. The business around me willl continue to succeed because we dont rob them and we clean up our mess.

Thats how I see it. The school situation might change but people with money are still going private.

Gravy fat and mad either way

this is not in St. George

Baton Rouge will continue as it was. The only real difference is that business will start to move to St. George because taxes will be lower (despite what Broomestown tries to tell people). The school system, when it is formed, won't be suddenly great. What will be better is that Woodlawn High will no longer be a dumping ground for bad teachers and worse administrators. As the flagship school for St. George ISD, WHS will have the best principal that they can get to come in. In no place was The Art of War more accurate than in education.

14. Now an army is exposed to six several calamities, not arising from natural causes, but from faults for which the general is responsible. These are: (1) Flight; (2) insubordination; (3) collapse; (4) ruin; (5) disorganization; (6) rout.

15. Other conditions being equal, if one force is hurled against another ten times its size, the result will be the flight of the former.

Don't overload your classrooms. Keep your class sizes appropriate to the students and subject.

16. When the common soldiers are too strong and their officers too weak, the result is insubordination. When the officers are too strong and the common soldiers too weak, the result is collapse.

If your APs are weak, the teachers will walk all over them.

17. When the higher officers are angry and insubordinate, and on meeting the enemy give battle on their own account from a feeling of resentment, before the commander-in-chief can tell whether or no he is in a position to fight, the result is ruin.

A principal who does not control his APs and make them actually do their job will lose his school

quote:

---

18. When the general is weak and without authority; when his orders are not clear and distinct; when there are no fixes duties assigned to officers and men, and the ranks are formed in a slovenly haphazard manner, the result is utter disorganization.

---

A weak principal will have a weak staff. Happens every time.

quote:

19. When a general, unable to estimate the enemy's strength, allows an inferior force to engage a larger one, or hurls a weak detachment against a powerful one, and neglects to place picked soldiers in the front rank, the result must be rout.

Don't throw your new teachers to the wolves. Too many schools put the new person on a cart, roaming, with three preps and all 9th grade retards.

None of this matters. The enemy to peace and prosperity in this region has already crossed the Rubicon (aka Jones Creek) and can’t be stopped regardless of what you call the city.

I agree taxes will go up, but I imagine some of that will have to do with property value raising. Not only the ISDS but the city maintenance and planning as well, enhanced police presence, cleaned out drainage ditches and gutters, and better zoning not letting them put up low quality housing anywhere they want.
