Abstract: The September 10 issue of The Nation profiles the state of public education in post-Katrina New Orleans. The author finds that "the option to charter is often seen as necessary to getting a neighborhood back on its feet." He interviews both conservatives and progressives who see chartering as a way to rebuild New Orleans and to improve the educational opportunities for the city's public school children.
