The Freestyle at Telegraph and Joy had bands several nights a week, mostly originals, sometimes "new wave" or punk. Up Telegraph a bit was The Ranch, which was not unlike Freestyle.
As far as dance...

My favorite dish was dinner for two. Back in those days I could really eat!

I'm pretty sure he paid to have the baseball diamond/dugouts at Clark Park renovated a few years back. A really nice move.

I was relieved that he left the banquet early. I didn't have to smile and shake his hand and pretend to appreciate all that he's done "for the kids."

Cass and Renaissance have enrollment requirements that include a minimum grade point average as well as a record of satisfactory attendance. Most [[if not all) other Detroit public schools must...

Not sure if it is true, but I heard a goal was scored last year.

Thanks for the kind words DTGuy and Shollin. Like most teachers, I didn't get into this to become rich. I did expect that if I worked hard and got good at what I was doing there would be some sense...

Thank God Mr. Bobb had one last chance to wag his finger at me [[a selfish DPS teacher) before leaving, and to remind me that it is all about the children. While I greedily earn almost $50, 000 a...

DTeach,
It is my guess that this summer program will pay dividends come September. I hope you have a great summer and best of luck in the fall.

Dteach,
The Summer Academy sounds great. Do you think there is any chance it would be expanded to other schools next year?

1. High school students in Detroit miss about 50 or 60 days of school per year, on average.
2. Huge amounts of money in DPS go to consultants and administrators who never have and never will set...

I think It was WWWW.

" . . .the district estimates it would spend $10 million in oversize class pay over four years." I've had oversized classes for years and I've never received a penny in oversize class pay, so...

DTeach,
The word in our building is that Gradebook will be available in February. It's funny, but somehow I prefer using an old school [[hardcopy) gradebook. However, if and when Zangle Gradebook...

DTeach,
We were finally able to post grades on Zangle yesterday afternoon. Try clicking on "Marks" from the main page and choose "Semester 1" on the dropdown menu. I hope this helps.

English,
The article you refer to states that " . . .teachers should teach, develop and evaluate each other [[and that every facet of education -- from teacher training to school leadership -- should...

I owe a huge chunk of my musical education to Jim Shaw. Thank you for everything you ever did for me brother. Love and respect.

English and DTeach,
What a coincidence! I'm just heading out to buy light bulbs, cleaning supplies and first aid provisions for my classroom. I'd bet any DPS teacher with more than a few years on...

DTeach and English,
It almost doesn't matter if we believe in inclusion or not. It is already here! Most of the English classes I've taught in DPS included students with wildly diverse reading,...

And yet, Mr. Bobb has stated that larger class sizes are coming our way.

It's almost as if putting non-educators in charge of education is a bad idea.

Corned beef sandwich @ Hygrade Deli; chorizo and egg burrito @ Honeybee; double cheeseburger @ Blimpy, Ann Arbor;

I find the "Let's hold these teachers accountable" sentiment a bit troubling. Should I be held accountable for the progress of students who miss more than 40 school days per year? How about the...

I've been teaching in DPS for six years now, and I have no idea how to make parents get involved. For our Holiday Show [[concert and skits) last night, we had about 30 parents attend. Between the band...

"We've got a high-pressure system coming our way, and we need that like Richard Simmons needs his and hers towels." Love 'ya Sonny!
