MICHIGAN ORDERS DETROIT TO CLOSE HALF IT'S SCHOOLS 2-21-2011

[Blahblobify]

Only 25% of detroit students graduate from high school so they may as well close half the schools.

It sounds like birth control might be the solution in the hood. birth control=less students. LOL!

if we stopped waging so much unconstitutional wars on other nations we would within a year and a half be in the best position to reconstruct the usa . if we had equil taxing from poverty to wealthy we would also have a very healthy future ssi and medicare/medicade programs. everyone keep on your politions with factual constructive emails to the elected officials.

if we would get the goverment down to a small government we would also have money to rebuild our fracturing highway systems

Random thought...Parents? Why are there not more parents volunteering in thier childs school? I understand that parents have to work, but more parent participation equal more job cuts and freeing up money. The suburbs dont have Noon Hour Aides/Paid Lunch Mothers, moms actually volunteer at lunch time. Same goes for crossing guards. Again the burbs dont pay for that either, parent volunteers. If more parents get up and make a difference to do more it would and will make a big difference.

how can a goverment (usa) shell out hundreds of billions of dollars to other countries and let this one go to hell. we need to stand up to this financial injustice, cause 20 years from now im not gon be a 40 year old cashier at mcDonalds.

We can spend BILLIONS of our hard earned tax-paying money for illegal wars where elite industrialists profit from Poppy Fields, Uranium, and Oil but we can't even keep of few schools open... oh wait were "fighting terrorists" wink wink... ya right...

@PlzWak3Up welcome to america

[StOpNaRcOnOn]

60 Students in a class= less school kids in the class...they will leave to the burbs....its so sad. the administration needs to take a pay cut, not forcing 60 kids into one class. they wont learn a darn thing(not like they do now)

[smiguet]

Why do they expect less students by 2014?

[hudsonjamesc]

@smiguet people are leaving the detroit metropolitan area and michigan

[odin422]

WOWZAA!

[JezebelDecibel]

60 students a class, gee teach yourself at home. If America is not careful these classrooms, may one day be set up full of sowing machines, so these children can start working for 55 cents per hour, to stock the shelves of Wall-Mart. This way the country can start producing again at a price that the corporations are prepared to pay. Also, a country just cant print money & expect to prosper forever. Global corporate exploitation is killing & you cant trade with people earning 55 cents. KARMA

This is only the beginning. More austerity on the way and it will be put on the citizens. The only question is, will the people just accept it?

If at all possible for those who can do this, online schooling is the way to go.
