Bribing students with new shoes to game the system for more taxpayer money.

Not buying books, or supplies, or doing anything to improve educational outcomes for students condemned to the hellhole of Detroit public schools.

Just trying to pretend the corpse that is Detroit from being recognized as dead.

Did Bernie ("Weekend at Bernie's") wear new black Nikes?

Sorry - s/b “Just trying to prevent the corpse that is Detroit from being recognized as dead.”

Its not just Detroit, public schools across the country (and the cities they’re in) are zombies in various states of decay.

[cripplecreek]

Detroit giving free shoes to students who show up to be counted.

Nikes aside, Oct. 3 is their first day of school? That’s six weeks after we start. It’s no wonder they have nothing better to do than drive by shootings and dealing.

Three words: National Education Association.

Rumor has it that one of those words does not fit when in combination with the other two.

Wonder which one it could be?

[unixfox]

The more bodies in class, the more money schools have all year.

And THAT is the only reason they want them there. Gotta have the largesse ever increasing for the teachers unions, parties, and whatever bullsh!t they can spend it on.

Everything EXCEPT what it is supposed to be for.

Detroit Store Tries To Draw Kids To School With New Shoes

What could go wrong?

[Ohioan]

Contrast with kids learning by the family Bible, by the light of the fireplace, in frontier America. And then read the sort of political speeches they grew up to, in the first half of the 19th Century, in contrast to the 30 second sound-bite, and realize how civilization dies.

And for those kids that actually WANT to learn, will find that the disruptive kids that don’t want to learn are now being bribed into coming into their classroom.

[Wurlitzer]

Anyone with the means and or time to send their kids/grand kids to a private school or home school but instead allows them into the public school brainwashing system is contributing to the destruction of the country.

The communist teacher’s union is doing the work required in the communist manifesto and the more minds we give them the faster the complete fundamental change of the USA to a Marxist communist country will be achieved.

I certainly know not everyone has the means or time and there is not a lot that can be done about that other than charter schools but if you have the means and or time don’t contribute to the problem.

Wow! Detroit has solved the problem...guess we can move on now!!!
