I'm seeing that when a [student] has problems, we have limited resources for them in the public schools. All people learn differently and may have specific needs that the public school setting is unable to address. You can't always meet individual needs in a large group.

There are a lot of strains on the infrastructure, our roads, our schools, and I think that sometimes the problems haven't been anticipated.

It couldn't have worked out any better. We have had zero problems. At small schools, we have to remind ourselves we're here for the kids. It's not just the wins and losses, but giving kids opportunity.

All these
problems were building up down there. The schools in Louisiana opened the week before
Katrina hit and they were already laying off teachers because they were $45 million in
the hole. Half the people in Louisiana are on welfare or Social Security or some other
kind of assistance, so when the hurricane hit at the end of the month they were all out
of money. It's more than just the hurricane.

The problems are many. But the I-AA, Division II and Division III schools do it.

I hope not. I think overall he's done a good job, and I hope he can overcome any immediate problems that are out there.
