The Politics of Education Reform: Charter Schools in New Orleans | Policy Stories
To learn more, pick up a copy of "The Politics of Institutional Reform: Katrina, Education, and the Second Face of Power" by Terry M. Moe, available here: https://amzn.to/2YeYPRb.
In the normal politics of reform, bad institutions are protected by powerful vested interests, making them difficult or impossible to fix. In the New Orleans school system after Hurricane Katrina, however, we get the rare opportunity to observe what happens when that power—which was destroyed by the storm—is removed from the equation. The result was a revolution, suggesting that there is a vast revolutionary potential among everyday decision makers who want to fix their failing institutions—a potential that, during normal times, is stifled by power but only waiting to be liberated.
