Liberalism is a mental illness
You wouldn't "allow" your wife...? Really?
Liberalism is a mental illness
Liberalism hasn't worked before and it won't work now.
Clean up the crime then worry about education.
I would never allow my wife to work in Detroit again after being robbed and having her car stolen while leaving her teaching job.
Another desperate and misguided program
Michigan and it's entitlement culture continually return to the same ideas over and over. If we just bribe people to help us, maybe we can work our way out of this.
Detroit inner city schools (like other urban areas) are a disaster because of the STUDENTS. Their culture. Their absence of parenting. Their anti-intellectual mind set. And yes their grinding poverty.
As for those who would enter this program. What ever happened to the idea that you teach because you have a passion and desire. Not because you are being paid to enter the dregs of society's institutions and be a bright light in a hellish pathos.
It won't work. 5 years from now, the Detroit news will come back and do a piece saying a few kids shone, but test scores remain low. That assumes the Detroit News is still around.
Michigan: Stop spending money on under achievers. Focus on those in the middle and the top. They are the future.

free Masters degrees
Donquixotee....I agree with you 100%
o7cvohog....A job and salary could be enough but teachers and support staff are loosing those everyday.
Master's degrees to teach in urban cities
Once again, ON PAPER, the idea is great!!! However where will they teach????? Certainly not in DPS as they are constantly laying off teachers and support staff.
Maybe they can teach in Pontiac, Saginaw, etc.... Oh, yeah, they are laying off teachers in all the urban areas....hmmm.
"Free" Masters Degree
Another example of government gone wild. These masters degrees are not free. They are paid for by taxpayers. Bloated beuracracy.
Free masters Degree for Teaching in the inner city
Having spent a generation dealing with this type of teaching milieu, it is a most needed and noble endeavor. However, the real issues are: 1- the classroom control skills of the student teachers. 2- the personal safety of the young teachers at all times and; 3- the amount of control the School Administration has over the school.
Teachers today have much less control over their classrooms because the students have so many "rights". In a school district like Detroit, where students graduate because they attend a class/NOT learn an education, I'd say the average student teacher wouldn't last a year. In my experience the average teacher bailed-out after 1 semester.
Best Wishes/I'm with you in Spirit but our State Laws need to Empower Teachers/Administrators again if we are to have Safe Schools.
Granholm
Granholm has lost me. I am not voting for a Democrat in 2012-or 2011-in Michigan-However for the same reasons-Bishop has also lost me-Give me a cadidate that can be honest, loyal, and not a whore-Yooper
Incentives For Teachers???
Isn't a salary and a decent job enough anymore? Now we have to pass incentives to teachers, they are sounding more and more like the children they are responsible for training.
What next, they want a new laptop and iPod too?
Incentives for Teachers?!
I definitely hope that these funds aren't from the Promise Schoolarhsip that was taken away from college students. It's ironic (and simply unbelieveable) that college graduates are receiving funds that would be more useful to the thousands of undergrads that don't have a single penny to their name. Personally, I feel offended that I got my scholarship taken away and that graduates who at least have a stable salary are getting more financial aid than me. Thanks Michigan, you've done it again.

Ya gotta decide...is my life worth $30,000? Is it worth the risk? NO.
math teachers
I understand this is a grant, but it is just a testament to how clueless Granholm is about the economic conditions our schools are facing. Math and science teachers are getting laid off, just like other teachers in Michigan. I can personally name five math teachers that cannot find a job. On another note, a very close friend of mine is a math teacher in a decent district and teaches AP calculus. She had 17 of her 19 students pass the AP exam. She didn't even get a "good job" or pat on the back for it. Luckily, that isn't her motivation, but why stay in teaching? Even when you are successful you are still treated like you are "below" every other profession.
OUT OF TOUCH WASHINGTON:
The media says there are not enough doctors, nurses, engineers, IT professionals, and its all an attempy to continue to farm foreign workers and replace american workers because business increases provit. They have been saying over 10 years that there are too few nurses, and yet most schools have long wait lists, and more people turn to these professions. They say there are not enough nursing teachers, been saying that for many years and still no action. Its about time for americans demand jobs be offered to AMERICAN CITIZENS. The BullS**t is going to end as unemployment rises, cost of living rises, fuel proces rise and wages lower. It is the same crap with the open borders, and washingtons complete refusal to secure it. Cheap labor continues to cross, employers continue to break our laws and more and more illegal immigrants come in. It is estimated that 30 million illegal aliens reside in country, and more are comming because they see the government doeing nothing. Our taxes are draining, social services costs exploding, schools overrun and it has to stop. Cingress is getting it, the senate is moving in the right direction slowely, and it doesent matter who our president will be ( both are terrible on illegal immigration) the checks and balances of government will win. Outraged citizens need to be calling their elected representatives to let them know your opinion.
