    Tree Work in Detroit? (or other hard-hit cities)

    It was an interesting statement in the vid about Detroit when it was a prosperous city. A man could get a job in a factory and make a decent living to raise a family, without having a higher education. I'm not sure if that should be considered a right or a gift, but to people that struggle to...

    Tree Work in Detroit? (or other hard-hit cities)

    It seemed that the parents that wanted to be involved were seeking self determination, or some way to get out from the mess, but when they went to the school board meetings as shown, to try and get some answers, the affairs turned into complete disrupted shouting matches between the parents and...

    Tree Work in Detroit? (or other hard-hit cities)

    There was that part as well with forty something million dollars unaccounted for by the school board, something like that. It doesn't seem like being penny pinching to want to find out where it went. That could buy a few computers. Pretty apparent that dirty dealings were going on. Bobb...

    Tree Work in Detroit? (or other hard-hit cities)

    Did you watch the vid that showed the superintendent that the school board got rid of as well. She seemed to have good ideas too, asked for accountability. Kevin, I can only go by the one vid, certainly defer to your experience, but it certainly seemed that the public schools were in serious...

    Tree Work in Detroit? (or other hard-hit cities)

    I meant burn down the corrupt system, Kevin. Based on that video, the schools seemed abandoned when people were still going to them. Sitting in a class with the lights off and no teacher for days isn't provding an education in the least, no matter the purpose of the building. It seemed that...

    Tree Work in Detroit? (or other hard-hit cities)

    I don't know that much about Bobb, but it seems pretty easy to figure why he wasn't liked. He tried to change the status quo, get rid of the greedy only self serving and do nothings running the system. The status quo in Detroit ps seems an impossible thing to change unless you burn it down...

    Tree Work in Detroit? (or other hard-hit cities)

    Yes, but his interviews seemed like he had a plan. First get rid of all the waste and corruption and show accountability. Keep records! It seems a similar theme to other places. They squashed him like a bug.

    Tree Work in Detroit? (or other hard-hit cities)

    It seemed like that guy, Bob, was on the right track when they brought him in to oversee the school system. Closing schools and teachers losing their jobs and him shit canning other people who weren't doing anything, nearly one supervisor for every employee, got him in trouble with the powers...

    Tree Work in Detroit? (or other hard-hit cities)

    Thanks for posting the Dan Rather documentary. It seems an impossible situation in the public schools....no accountability, combined with mismanagement and fraud. Without having the people in charge of the school board whose primary interest is in seeing a decent education provided, there...
