Baton Rouge,,it is horrible where you are I hear. We all mutter to each other,,"when are they leaving". Problem is most of the ones here will take a long time if ever to leave. Their houses need to be gutted, etc. That will take no telling how long.

And when they realize how much better/safer the public schools are, they won't want to ever go back! At least not while they have kids in school. But can you blame them?

I am studying for a degree in education, and this involves spending time in the public schools. I spent a few hours this last week observing in the Mandeville schools - and you can tell who the New Orleans refugee kids are. They are the ones who walk alone, but they have the widest eyes you've ever seen. They just can't believe how beautiful their new school is!!
