Not everyone is in love with Hurricane Katrina evacuees
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/3510666.html
It seems the kids are fed up with evacuees just like schools, universities, and cities around the country are. Come the end of the semester in May/June, students/families need the umbilical cord cut and either move back to New Oreleans, or move on from their temporary homes and schools. The evacuees are not the only ones harmed.
I feel for these kids because I can still imagine what they are going through based on my high school experience. The "Oh whoa is me" attidude runs really thin after awhile, and these kids educations are detrimentally effected by the double standards these hurricane Katrina "victims" are held to. This is part of the reason why there are problems at these schools, in addition to the standard liberal label that is put on everything.... "racism and prejudice", which is likely part to blame with two cultures colliding. These schools and kids should not be forced to have class sizes of 10% larger, nor should the city of Houston and their ISD's be forced to bear the total burdens of New Orleans and their kids who cannot be controlled.
