IN 1992, my son started kindergarten in the Grand Rapids Public Schools. I took the first day of school off, we were both nervous and excited.

When it was time for him to come home, I waited at the bus stop, for hours. I called the “transportation dept”, and was given the usual excuse about all the confusion the first couple of days. Fine, it seems that way every year. But my sons bus ended up being 3 hours late bringing him home.

I was hot. Called back again, and talked to the “manager of the transportation department”, and the reason the bus was 3 hours late was.....LACK OF FUNDS.

I told him no amount of funds can buy brains. It is their excuse for every screw up. They must tatoo this on the inside of their eyelids.

They act like they really can’t understand why people move or send their kids elsewhere.

Here is the deal, pass a law, written as that dues are not authomatically deducted from the paycheck, allow the left to have the Bush tax cuts repealed. Most of these civil servants are in the 15 going up to 28% tax bracket, and when this happens the first they stop doing is funding the union commies.

Is the MEA getting schooled on the real world?

[Mrs. P]

Where’s the like button on this? I like seeing commies whine.

Detroit Robert Bobb wants to shake it up, close a 41 to 45 school and convert them to charter schools.

The Detroit Teachers Union is one of the if not "the" largest employer in the city.

IMHO I expect at some point, SEIU, MEA, Jesse and Rev Al, to all get involved as well as those envolved in Wisconsin, trying to stop this... Just MHO...

He's been pretty ruthless. He discovered a whole bunch of teachers that don't even exist when he stopped mailing paychecks out and made teachers come and personally pick them up from his office. I believe it was nearly 200 non people getting paid big bucks.

This seems to be a "lack of brains issue". We live in Pennsylvania. The transportation of school chilren depends on a well organized group of people with a skill level for that job. The bus driver for our little guy would either drive by him when he was standing waiting or forgot to drop him off entirely. We went through this several times and now drive him to and from school every day. I waited with him each day. We live 0.9 mile from the main road. You need to live 1 mile from the main road to get the bus to use the road. There are no sidewalks just woods and cornfields. I cannot be bothered to fuss with these bus people.

I followed the bus to school one day. He drove over the speed limit and did indeed pick up kids that live very close to school but they have no sidewalks. It is not worth the trouble.

Yes, If my memory is correct, that was on top of a room full of supplies like 2 million dollars worth no being used, including something like a dozen 250cc Honda Motorcycles that were like mini cop bikes for Street Crossing Guards that weren't being used.

Absolute dysfunction, G_d Bless this man trying to correct these ills step by step, one day at a time, tackling them one by one..

I wonder how they do on teaching proper punctuation. ;-)

At $50K apiece, that adds up to about $10 million a year in blatant mail fraud. I'll believe he's "ruthless" when the recipients of those checks wind up in jail.

How do you propose finding people who don't exist?

As much as I agree that Mi has many , many problems somehow the thought that the ‘state’ has the the right to step in and replace the elected officials in my city, county, school board, et al and I have no say in the matter just sticks in my craw. How is this not ‘taxation without representation’? Haven’t we already fought this battle and won. Now we have to do it against our own government? Several years ago we had a city council that spent money with impunity, made backroom crony deals, and drove our city towards financial ruin. It took recalls and two election cycles but we removed them from office and took back control of our city. How will we be able to do this with a state appointed EFM?
