Charter Schools - a random thought.

According to Reason TV,

Hurricane Katrina destroyed one of the worst public school systems in the U.S., says Reason TV. New Orleans started fresh with a system based on choice. Now, “60% of New Orleans students currently attend charter schools, test scores are up, and talented and passionate educators from around the country are flocking to New Orleans to be a part of the education revolution.”

Here's my random thought of the day.

What if we take the premise as true for a moment, that the hurricane destroyed one of the worst public school systems in the U.S., and posit a different step two. What if New Orleans had started fresh ... with a new public school system?

The scores would be even better and lots of talented professionals would be flocking to New Orleans to be a part of the education revolution.
