Seniors, your next essay will be on the future of education in the U.S., and in Louisiana specifically. I would like for you to consider options on the table now - through organizations like XQ - and also the opinions of experts through TED talks and the PBS special Digital Nation. Considerations include (but are not limited to) access, curriculum, funding, and training.

You will focus on one answer to the question, including at least three points of support (i.e. environment, tools, curriculum, funding, or training), and you will use at least TWO credible sources to support your argument.
