Jackson Jambalaya

Loome is a laughingstock. She writes:

Includes $500,000 for a study of the MAEP formula (we are concerned that this is an effort to permanently reduce funding for Mississippi's public schools)

Please tell us Nancy why you don't want the formula studied.

It CAN'T be because you are worried about funding because the damn unworkable non-functioning formula has only been fully funded twice and then only because the Legislature used one-time money puffery.

TWICE Nancy. Two f'ing times. So there is no way in the world studying the formula could lead to a permanent reduction in funding because on a de facto basis that is the status quo under which we already operate.

Sometimes one can't help but think that the people who read Loome's tripe must be ignorant or intellectually impaired. How else to describe why people believe her bullshit?

Here's the catch: If Nancy is happy then Nancy has worked herself out of a job. So Nancy must stay unhappy to stay employed.

To anyone :

I would appreciate a quick education on this Loome woman's interest in opposing charter schools.
I keep seeing her name everywhere, but I'm not from Jackson so I don't know her history.

Is she a lobbyist for Cecil Brown and the multiple superintendents ?

It's my understanding that she sends her kids to the most expensive and exclusive
private academy within Mississippi.

Just wondering.

12:37; are you describing Loome or Jesse or Jerry Mitchell?

She has twin daughters and a son. Last I heard, they were all in the Clinton Public Schools.

Just out of curiosity, what is "the most expensive and exclusive private academy within Mississippi" these days?

Point of Order. How does one 'remove a post, once posted'? I see that periodically. Secondly, if the blog administrator has already approved a post for publication, why then does the blog administrator later remove the approved post? Sorry for the hijack and thanks for an answer.

10:24 - apparently not St. Andrew's - there's no "Loome" listed in the student directory.

St. Andrews is the most expensive. Why that is remains unknown.

Jackson Prep continues to dominate that school in everything.

Saint A has no real Sports.

3:55:

everything except academics, college placements, etc. ;
and arent they in diff. divisions in sports? because st. a is listed as state champs in a number of sports...

This lady is just the poster child for all the rest of the foot draggers who don't want to lose their jobs , their power, their identity and in most cases a paycheck is involved. Yes people don't understand what unseats them. No matter the damage they have done- they have apparently no shame at blocking the possibility of much needed change coming in. They have rationalized they and only they know what is best for these students. Well the proof is in the pudding/ ratings and the powers that were have had long enough to prove themselves as arbiters of good judgment over this cities ' struggling children. ENOUGH!

I seriously doubt that parents are paying $15K+ per year for sports... They would just go to Madison Central or NWR.
