SCHOOL FOR THOUGHT

It’s getting easier in the big easy

Click here to watch the trailor for a documentary film about the educational experiment going on in New Orleans post-Katrina. Because the storm wiped out the city’s terrible public education system, the authorities were able to start afresh. The result is a city of mostly charter schools, which were nimble enough to get up and running much faster than the lumbering public school system. And the kids are doing better! Does anyone know if “The Experiment” is airing in Canada?
