Fire them. Even if no one wants to teach in Detroit, it beats paying people to do nothing!

More reason why unions have outlived their usefulness and should be disbanded and dismantled completely. Union arrogance knows no bounds.

"...there’s nothing in the collective....mind of the union.

...someone’s learning...the subs are learning to get out of the Detroit school system.

(Detroit) Teachers Union President Directs Teachers Not to Teach

That is probably a good thing...

The Detroit Public School system has a shortage of certified teachers...,

If you wanted to teach there, you'd have to be considered certifiable.

[Carpe Cerevisi]

They haven’t been teaching there since I was in elementary school back in the 70’s. Why start now?

[Bullish]

Wow, why am I not surprised? The unions have so screwed over education in this country that one doesn’t even know where to begin when discussing them. The children deprived of any chance for an education and all because of greed.

Disgusting and shameful! But we all know there’s no way to shame a greedy liberal.

[upchuck]

They are thinking about closing half the schools. If they do, high school classes will balloon to 65 students. According to the union contract, teachers must be paid a bonus when class size exceeds 35 students.

Dumb and dumber. Just throw the union out on it's ass.
