Sick out War! Detroit Public Schools vs Detroit Federation of Teachers.

[ndavies]

The problem is the sickout only inconveniences the parents and students. Instead of creating allies with the parents and students, the teachers are creating enemies.

The sickout only gives more ammunition to the state's republican legislatures. They will happily use this as another reason why DPS needs to be completely wiped out.

What is a viable solution to DPS problems?

Waiting for Lansing to do anything workable seems completely insane. Have they ever fixed the roads? How about the DWSD? There they didn't do a damn thing for decades then some brainless idiot decided that rather than fixing that problem they would take the city of Flint off of a high quality water product and put them on the flint river and now a bunch of kids have lead poisoning. Even in Detroit bankruptcy Lansing wasn't asked to be part of the solution until the 11th hour then they made threats to scuttle. I have zero faith that either party in Lansing has the will to fix the worst school systems in the state of Michigan because of the simple fact they haven't forever.

What would work for DPS? I would like to hear some sound ideas rather than party politics.
