Past and Future School Buses


If you're an online conservative, then you've already seen the picture of hundreds of flooded New Orleans school buses.  It has become an icon for a government that failed to prepare properly.  When you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

Here's another picture that may become just as much of symbol of the failure to plan:

This one is a computer lab at a New Jersey public school.  See all those empty chairs?  There's nothing sinister about that today... but if bird flu makes the jump from our feathered friends to human beings, we're going to need to keep the kids at home for a while. 

In theory, this shouldn't be a problem.  We have all sorts of new technologies that make it possible to deliver instruction over the Internet.  If we start planning now, and if the teachers' union would cooperate, America's public schools could keep on teaching right through a pandemic. 

But those are some pretty big "ifs."
