[I still care]

Would YOU teach in Detroit?

It would scare me to death to teach there, or in Flint, or in Baltimore, or in any other Democrat ruled minority community. They would have to pay me as much as my life is worth. Maybe I am overreaching, and I do not understand what it is really like, but I would not feel safe.

I say minority but the fact is in Detroit I AM the minority and I have no doubt I would be run over like a steam roller.

No amount of money could get me to teach school in Detroit.

I'm a teacher. Detroit would have to pay me BIG money. HUGE money, to work there. I'm not talking a 10% over base salary incentive.

You can't improve the prospects of young people when they, and you, work in a place where you're afraid for your life.

Flint used to have a top quality education system back before the 1970s. It was actually used as the model for other school systems outside the state of Michigan. It used to produce lots of medical doctors who were able to graduate from some of the best universities. Our high school had its own drivers ed track stocked with GM's finest motor vehicles.

And then the libs got really involved.
