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

[GPCharles]

belleislerunner,

Step in their shoes for a moment. Annual cuts in pay. Annual reductions in benefits. Students [[?) that have no interest in learning. The kids are wild in school. The big event of the day is a fight, most of which are planned in advance and texted around school. No support from the school administration. It's a tough world in the DPS high schools.

Don't say fire all the teachers and hire replacements. They can't find enough qualified teachers to staff the schools as it is.

I am generally opposed to this type of union activity, but...
