UNBELIEVABLE! An Eighth-Grader Had To Teach Math In A Detroit School

September 17, 2016| by Robert Gehl

A lawsuit filed in federal court Tuesday against Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and other state education officials paints an abysmal picture of schooling within the Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD), the state’s largest public-school district that serves nearly 50,000 students.

Filed on behalf of seven black and Latino students who attend five of the lowest performing schools in Detroit, the suit describes “slum-like conditions” at the schools, “lacking the most basic educational opportunities.” They also serve more than 97% low-income students of color, the Herald-News is reporting.

Probably the best teacher those kids have ever seen.

Detroit has lots of charter schools so that would be my decision as a parent. At least if a charter school sucks it can be closed down. Public schools are perpetual no matter how bad they are.
