Education Plans

What curricula are needed in New Orleans to ensure a stable society for years to come? 

• Basic math, science, language arts, history, and world language will give a solid grounding from which students can continue to grow upward. 
• An introduction to art, music, and physical education will act as an outlet of creative and bodily energy for these people living with so much pent-up aggression and stress caused by the hurricane.
• Vocational training will help revitalize the economy.
• Possibly most importantly for the New Orleans area, knowledge of the dangers of living in New Orleans should be enforced.  This includes hurricane and flood preparedness, conservation and environmentally-sound living, local cultural and political history, and diversity acceptance. 

The ultimate hope is that we can eventually move everyone out of the area, and that the people would be more willing to leave if they had a better understanding of the dangers they will face by staying in New Orleans.  Also, a better education will allow the displaced people of New Orleans to survive and thrive in the competitive workplace once they have moved.

If people are made aware of all there is to learn, a renaissance of intellectualism ultimately will take place, drawing more colleges, employers, and industries to the area where former New Orleans residents will live.  If there is a general understanding of all issues directly associated with the region, the people of New Orleans will be better equipped to handle any future disasters and how to interact with each other and the world to rebuild their city in a more efficient manner.
