Whenever anyone says that teachers are the problem, I'm going to think of how the administration acted in this situation, not communicating clearly with us at all before the meeting, closed door meetings, and all that craziness and say that it's not us.

No, we won't have a high school next year. I am looking for a job. It's really bad.

1. I am so sorry this has happened to you. Keep us posted.

2. That neighboring school will need teachers

unless they want to cram 60 kids into each classroom.

Funny how it's majority black and Hispano schools that turn out to be "financially unsustainable," isn't it?

You want to make any high school more sustainable, kill off intramural sports.

4. Sports were keeping kids in our desks.

Still, the biggest issue was money, large amounts of money.

7. how it's majority black and Hispano schools that turn out to be "financially unsustainable"

indeed.

and i imagine the combination will be destabilizing, too.

for various reasons i'd expect it to be a boon to the charter school industry.

what a shocker.

3. That's insane.

I'm so sorry k4d.

6. you're in michigan. no, it's not the teachers. start with the governor and work down.

i hope you find another situation quickly.

[knitter4democracy]

8. Thank you, and you're right.

You know it's bad when the governor has to tell the others in the MI GOP to back off and that they've gone too far.

Fracking MI GOP. They're ruining our great state.
