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.
