Quit trying to change. You can never change enough to satisfy the people that call you, 'conservative, brainwashed, a victim and pathetic". Your only crime was being born white and they weren't. ...

AMEN! Amen! amen! Amen! Amen!

Wesley, you are absolutely correct. Nothing is perfect but Charter Schools only suck if you are a union supporter. LOL

Maybe you should also complain that Canada isn't giving enough money to Detroit as Detroit is part of North America.

I was talking about improving the schools, not about the auto industry nor about the condition of the city. If you want good schools, it starts at the school board level. The condition of the city...

Their you go again, Al.... Wanting the Federal government and/or the state to fix what the citizens of Detroit screwed up. The citizens of Detroit voted all those corrupt officials to lead them. ...

I think the "governing body" of Detroit is beginning to come around, but alas....

The Police Force is still too "Union Minded" to do a good job. They need more of the mind set of the DNR and...

With this sentence, you nailed Detroit's problems. It would have been better if you said it this way;

Mine also. That was and still is in my mind Briggs Stadium. I used to walk by it often when I was a kid.

Great response! We need more positive stuff like this on DYes.

And in your opinion, WHY is it like this in Detroit?

<snip>. . . the results of this study well document that the most important factor affecting student learning is the teacher. In addition, the results show wide variation in effectiveness among...

You answered EL Jimbo better than I could have, Thank You!

Results don't matter to the teacher unions. Results do matter to most teachers but they are handicapped by their unions.

Good response!

No, not in the end game. It has to be the beginning game. Somehow the crime is diminished in Corktown, Downtown and Midtown. People are coming. In the 'hoods people are fleeing. That should tell...

Nowhere did I go after the educators. Their unions, yes. Would you go back and reread my post?

Well, we are talking money here. Before Walker reforms in Wisconsin Public School Districts were several million dollars in debt, now they have surpluses in the millions. Detroit is talking money...
