What do you think of New Orleans’ attempt to reform its schools?
October 14th, 2011
This Wall Street Journal online piece about New Orleans’ efforts to improve its schools was forwarded to me by my colleague Mike Hashimoto. It centers on the work of the city’s new superintendent and the effort to give students in New Orleans more choices.
What struck me is the urgency that Superintendent John White is bringing to his work and the expansion of charter schools across the city.
What do you think about his work and New Orleans’ approach?
Would you like to see Dallas get a superintendent like White and expand charter operations?
If so, why?
If not, why not?
