Why should you care about what happened to William Frantz Public
School? Yes, Ruby Bridges entered the iconic doors of William
Frantz in 1960, but the building's unique role in New Orleans
school desegregation is only one part of the important history of
this school. Many additional and equally important stories have
unfolded within its walls and the neighborhoods surrounding it.
These stories matter. It matters that society has historically
marginalized Black students and continues to do so. It matters that
attempts to dismantle systemic racism in schools and other
institutions still face strong resistance, and these issues
continue to deeply divide the United States. It matters that the
building remains standing as an indomitable symbol of the
resiliency of public education despite decades of waning support,
misguided accountability, and a city devasted by Hurricane Katrina.
It matters that opportunism, under the guise of recovery, reshaped
public education in New Orleans. William Frantz Public School: A
Story of Race, Resistance, Resiliency, and Recovery in New Orleans
provides more than an examination of education in one school and
one city. It recounts a story that matters to anyone who cares
about public education.

This book sets out to demystify the privatization process -
currently transforming the economics of the world - by reviewing
both the business organization and capital-raising aspects of the
process as experienced in France, Italy, UK, Canada, Venezuela,
Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, particularly in the light of the
latest important developments in those countries. This work does
not claim to be exhaustive.It offers a focus on the status reached
up to 1994, as understood by those heavily engaged in the process,
with a grasp of the large canvass of considerations and objectives
that play upon such transactions. This handbook emerges from the
distilled expertise of two committees of the IBA's Section on
Business Law, who met and discusses the matter in October 1993 in
New Orleans. The sure prediction made is that privatizations will
continue to constitute a major form of business transaction and to
involve a significant percentage of the world's capital-raising
requirements.
For a moment, consider "you don't know what you don't know". What
individuals know about urban schools is often based on assumptions
and perceptions. It is important for individuals to examine these
assumptions and perceptions of urban schools and the students who
attend them. While many textbooks support how teachers should teach
students in urban settings, this book asserts individuals can be
effective teachers in these settings only if they first develop an
understanding urban schools and the students who attend them. As
readers progress through the chapters, they will realize they don't
know what they don't know. Within a framework of cognitive
dissonance, readers will continuously examine and reexamine their
personal beliefs and perceptions. Readers will also investigate new
information and varied perspectives related to urban schools. When
readers finish this book, they will be on their way to becoming
effective teachers in urban environments.
