As far as I am concerned, Tulane University President Scott Cowen is a national hero–someone needs to give the man a medal–KSH.

    The other point, ignored by this report, was the school voucher program where parents can move their kids out of failing schools. [url=http://reason.com/blog/2010/08/18/reasontv-the-new-orleans-schoo ]See the video here. [/url]

    I passed over this vido several times because I thought it would just be another depressing look at fake schools. BUT,
    Do you see the class sizes??!! Discipline is absolutely necessary with such class sizes. Can children learn in classes of that size? I guess they can – and it isn’t just me saying so. The whole point of this video is that students can learn in those class sizes.
    Keep a copy of this video – it disproves most of what modern education is selling.

    Need we mention that the New Orleans school district is being run by a conservative Louisiana administration?
