The Times Picayune
This article is discussing the public school crisis in New Orleans. The author talks about how bad the school system was before the storm and how it is somewhat recovering after. Now, many schools in Orleans parish are state run or charter schools. The main topic of this article is House Bill 1347, which would use tax money to help pay private school tuition for some New Orleans students. The author notes that this would have been a good proposal before hurricane Katrina when the schools were horrible, but now they are beginning to recover. He believes that many taxpayers would be strongly opposed to using 10 million dollars of their tax money to pay for private school when the public schools are fine. I think this article was very informative and interesting. The author did a good job with his research and provided many facts.

This article seems very interesting. The author seems to know his stuff about the issue and presents both sides of the issue. I agree that we shouldnt spend millions of tax money on the schools if they are recovering. He makes a good point that we should have done this before the hurricane when the school system was horrible.
