"Dear Mamas, I know we have a big discipline problem in a lot of our local schools and I saw a news story out of Baton Rouge that I think would help. Instead of suspending kids, they make their parents come to school and sit next to them in every class! I think this is awesome! What do you think, and how can we make that happen here?"

This plan pushes parents to be more involved and hands-on in their child’s education and discipline, and motivates kids to stay out of trouble. Since implementing this policy, Donaldsonville schools have seen a 50% cut in suspensions. We took this question to the Mamas, Teri and Denise, on last night’s “What Would Mama Do?” and got their thoughts on the policy, its effectiveness, and whether it would work here in Caddo or Bossier Parish.
