The Detroit Public School Teachers are out for a second consecutive 'sick day' today. No doubt this will stir things up...those who support the teachers and those who would just as soon they got fired or 'get their butts back in the classroom where they belong.'
This madness that is urban America where jobs have disappeared and property values have eroded, along with other social and economic woes, just seems to fester in terms of its impact on education and our nation's youth. And that is really the shame in all of this; 5 year olds, 7 year olds and teenagers caught in the struggles.
The way things are going, there is bound to be a breaking point and I'm not sure that it will have a happy ending.
