This website--Learning Matters--has some awesome Podcasts on education and school reform.
I particularly liked the episodes on the New Orleans school district. One of the episodes brings up the topic of New Orleans School Superintendent Paul Vallas's plan to give lap tops to all NOLA public high school students. A native NOLA resident working in the school system thinks this is a crazy idea, noting that the computers would be gone in a flash. Vallas thinks that high expectations of students would keep the computers in place and in good condition. Thoughts?
