Detroit teachers upset over public school conditions (with pictures of problems)

Sad. And while there's a lot of mismanagement there, I do wonder how much of the school could be cleaned up and fixed up if a few adult teachers organized a student group to take it on. Obviously stuff like plumbing would require professionals, but I think it wouldn't be too hard to scrub black mold or mushrooms off the walls.

Would be a valuable learning opportunity that you can't rely on the government to fix everything for you.

Tell them to quit crying and go back to work.

If that is what most of the schools look like, then that is horrible. No child should have to go into a place like that which should be condemned. It's sad that the local "leaders" let it get to such a state.

From what I've read, all anybody wants to do up there is blame, blame, blame. It is as if nobody wants to actually fix the problem, they just want to blame and punish somebody for said problem.

All the money's going to entitlements. What do they expect?

Agreed.


Roll your sleeves up and start remodeling.

Looks like a Graboid is about to pop out

Are they members of the union so that their labor would not violate any union contracts?

I'm sure the mold is why their schools are ineffective and essentially daycare for future criminals.

That's not how America works today. The Govt is in charge of everything, and ordinary community citizens just sit back and collect a check.
