here before katrina were able to return to the city when it comes to homeowners their own home program which was the government's response to help homeowners was having discriminatory effects on people that were applying for grants. your grant was based on either priest or value in your house and so because of historic policies. that were in place in new orleans and many other places around the united states homes in african-american neighborhoods here were worth less than homes in white neighborhoods here and what that meant in concrete terms is. that we would have clients home in an african-american neighborhood that would be receiving. sometimes as low as fifteen hundred dollars to rebuild their house and then you would have a family in a white neighborhood that experienced some level of damage that we get the fall grants from our account which was one hundred and the house not going to do. the.

1:47 am
1:49 am
when katrina hit the president bush. and his allies along with some foundations across the country and people in louisiana said this is a great opportunity for us to try an experiment and charge arise the whole public school system sensually have a public school it's a given to a private company and the private company gets the public money to run it but the private company decides who's going to be the teachers what are they going to have bus service what the cricket. going to be and all that so how that happened was within two weeks the louisiana legislature at the request of the governor and with the support of the president had a special law passed the just applied to the city of new orleans and it was a takeover literally a legal takeover of. two
1:50 am
thousand and five when act thirty five was winding its way through the legislature many of us were still living in other places i was living in texas trying to rebuild my life and then i was coming back and forth once i was allowed back in the war islands trying to get contractors and electricians and plumbers to help me put my house back together i knew many of the people who are not in any kind of position still fight the takeover of our school. within the first month they decided that they were going to dissolve the union which is one of the biggest union in the state of louisiana. over eight thousand people lost jobs in the school system union jobs really good jobs in the new
1:51 am
orleans area the teachers fought in court they lost there were the louisiana supreme court said no you're not entitled to your job parents and you're looking for an excellent school for your side tech academy is back in session our schools have some of the highest growth scores on the reef in the city of new york side tech academy is a perfect fit for scoring high and academics winning championships and tackle football and volleyball and working hard every day to get into the city's best high schools and colleges we provide a laptop for every child side tech academy is located a charter schools or businesses let's just be clear about that and what does a business still a biz. us wants to maximize its profits and reduce its cost that means high cost students who need more resources to learn more of a lot billy for those schools so it cost less to educate a higher performing student than to educate a student and have a lot of meaning and they get to have autonomy to discriminate and we see that in
1:52 am
the data. we begin to see a lot of the titles change there were many people who had had no experience running schools they may have been business people who will now become the c.e.o. as they try their hand at operating a school day. so i started working at ash at the end of my six months i knew i wasn't going to retire and. i knew it wasn't a place where i would become the kind of teacher that i want to be. yeah yeah.

so these three are the first grade class or close to the end of the hallway and i was right in the middle of. the hall from kindergarten. posters everywhere the walls are covered. generational thanks test. the student achievement on the test was a big focus the more students who tested well makes the school look successful. school is successful then they can apply for different grants and government funding schools with very low scores considered failing schools sometimes can be shut down or taken over by the state from my experience and understanding it kind of comes down to a money issue. test scores were displayed everywhere in the
1:54 am
classrooms and outside on the walls we had daily meetings and scores were brought up we would be shown. graphs and data from the different schools and discuss what we need to do to to raise those scores. and for the students there was one particular test that they were taking in first grade they were shown their previous score and then on the other side they were shown their goal what we wanted them to get to to show that they were improving getting closer to on level. and said like oh right this is where you are now this is where you need to be and. we were. bribed with stickers and candy and parties if you do well since you like on the reading
