Conflict resolution programs to end school violence, better quality lunches and oil-free schools by 2015. These recommendations weren't made by education professionals or by Recovery School District Superintendant Paul Vallas, but by a group of 150 middle school students who are members of "Kids Rethink New Orleans Schools," a student think tank that works to improve the city's public schools.
The students, who come from six schools that have Rethinkers clubs, presented their five-year vision to district officials Thursday at Langston Hughes Academy, stressing that they hope to see marked improvement in certain areas by the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
