I understand that everyone is in a financial mess, and Detroit (and Michigan) is worse than most. But how does closing half the schools and creating 60 student classes (!) increase the chances that Detroit’s future is going to be brighter than it’s last couple of decades? According to the story and other stuff I’ve read, once again, we see that a major part of the financial problem is the juicy pension contracts for teachers that is causing so much trouble in Wisconsin. The petulant critic in me wants to say that they feel they can get away with this stupid and drastic of a decision because their people can’t flee the area. There just has to be a better solution than this.
