Disaster in Our Schools

What I believe in may be a totally different belief from others or it may be the same to others!

I think that Hurricane Katrina has a big impact on the changes in our schools and crime in our city. Watching the video has made me really open up my eyes and realize that the students are not blame for our schools dropping the way they did. I also think that Hurricane Katrina is the blame for all the killing that’s taking place in our city today.

The political life of the city has changed where there were 70% African American Populists and the whites think that the city is theirs. I’m not a racist person but I honestly think that it is still that way till this day and that’s the reason for our schools being split up the way that they are.

With 65,000 public school children among the government during hurricane, I wonder if they had a question off the top of their head on what they will do to continue to give our students the proper education that was needed.

The School Board had a huge debate on who they wanted to be the Orleans Parish Superintendent. With a tie Anthony Amato won because of his record of Achievement. It was known that Louisiana had the poorest learning education and 29% children living in poverty and the School Board members wanted to know what he was able to do to fix it.   

The relationship between the school board and the city’s school is that they were wasting their time arguing on what needs to be changed instead of making a change to help us as students in school. Also the relationship is that not only the teachers were stealing money from our students but also the Anthony Amato.

I have much more to say and I think that we should discuss this in our class!
