“School Discipline in Mississippi and New Orleans”

The backlash against no-excuses discipline in high school

A growing controversy over use of the “paddle” to discipline children has a painful racial subtext.

Comments from the Judges:

“Great storytelling, especially in the charter-school discipline piece. Good flow between policy and students’ voices.”

“Both pieces are smart, very readable and explored topics I hadn’t spent much time focusing on. Great work.”
