Hi Pocahontas,
You are right on the testing for magnet schools. Caddo has seen the demise of their public schools because of the magnet program! Where does that leave the "average Joe"? Mainstreamed in with a bunch of losers who don't care if they pass or fail that will probably be "flippin burgers" for the rest of their lives! What ever happened to neighborhood schools? Bossier doesnt bus kids all over town like the rest of the country! THey go to school with the same kids from kindergarden until graduation! That's why their sports are so good. THey have been playing together forever!
