		<description><![CDATA[They may very well be protesting, but they haven&#039;t left work to do so. These people don&#039;t do any work.


They should not be employed as teachers. They should be manufacturing license plates in jail, serving a long sentence for racketeering, fraud and child endangerment.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well obviously they&#039;re doing a terrible job. My sister&#039;s a teacher and so was my mom. Both would confirm that many teachers hardly teach and that our children are being robbed of a good education by a bloated, unaccountable public school system seemingly  intent on lowering educational standards &amp; output. What liberals such as yourselves fail to grasp is that the salary itself is not the issue; given high teacher productivity and quality education most Conservatives would argue that they deserve more. The problem is that they&#039;re getting paid a relatively high average salary despite utterly failing at their job. When only 7% of students are grade level proficient in reading, and 50% of the city is functionally illiterate, these &quot;teachers&quot; don&#039;t deserve a job at all, let alone $70k per year. If there was that kind of accountability the schools wouldn&#039;t be so abysmal, but instead you reward failure with the highest pay in the nation. Liberal genius at its best.


To make it worse, the city paying these salaries is bankrupt. This is just another example of the astounding financial mismanagement of the Progressive city government.  CEO&#039;s don&#039;t drain city resources without providing any value in return. If the liberal government didn&#039;t impose legal thievery on businesses jobs wouldn&#039;t have been outsourced.  And despite your gallons of kool-aid, the financial sector creates &amp; allocates wealth to where it is most productive - government sucks wealth out of the economy to put it where it is the least productive.  Teachers aren&#039;t the problem: government is.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why is it that the teachers, policemen, firemen, etc. are always to blame, in your myopic eyes,for the countries financial woes. These are the people that actually work. Where are all your angry tirades against the financial sector, overpaid CEOs, corrupt politicians. I am tired of all the conservative brainwashing and constant &quot;hey look over there at those horrible middle class people that are paid too much&quot;. Please! Where is the anger over outsourcing, the destruction of pensions, the &quot;we don&#039;t make anything in this country anymore&quot;. No, you morons rant about teachers. There are soooooooooooo many other things to be mad about. This is yet another distraction, like the second amendment, to distract the people from the real villains and the real marauders of our economy.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bravo &quot;TiredOfBeingMadeOuttoBeAVillain! Thanks for setting the record straight. Most Detroit teachers don&#039;t make $70,000. And those who do, have earned it. So many people seem to hate teachers. Why? Most teachers are teachers because they want to make a difference. They love teaching and are GOOD at what they do. It certainly isn&#039;t for the money. No one in their right mind goes into teaching for the money or expects to get rich teaching. I could have made much more money in another profession. Few people in America these days EVER thank a teacher for their hard work and dedication. Nor do they hold students accountable. No, they just blame teachers because students aren&#039;t &quot;learning&quot; as reported on standardized tests. You can&#039;t make students learn. They have to want to learn what you are teaching or at the very least be receptive to it! Teachers are forced to test, test, test, test! When do they have the opportunity to TEACH? Most of the people posting on this &quot;blog&quot; have painted Detroit, teachers, unions and &quot;blacks&quot; with a very broad stroke. Is that stereotyping? I worked my butt off as a speech pathologist in Detroit. I earned a doctorate degree from a Carnegie I research institution. (The increase in pay was approximately 69 cents more per day. But, I didn&#039;t pursue a doctorate for the money,) I stayed up late preparing for my students. I prepared on weekends, during the summer, and over holiday recess, frequently at the expense of not spending time with my own family. (For the record--to those who are misinformed--teachers are not paid during holiday recess or during the summer!!!!!!!!) I finally retired because paper work became more important than student success. I refused to shortchange students to complete paper work. While I recognize it is a necessity, it should not be excessive or the primary goal. 
I receive a pension. I earned it. I worked 32 years to earn a pension I can&#039;t live on. It&#039;s so small I had to take another job. I&#039;m not complaining. I have wonderful student success stories, grateful parents and the respect of my family and peers. The blame game is unproductive. There is plenty of blame (if you want to blame someone) to go around. Society. Politicians. Carpetbaggers. Parents. Teachers. Students. But you can&#039;t blame everyone. Some people are actually doing the right thing - even in Detroit. If you think you can do a better job, become a teacher. Prove your point. My guess is that the critics here wouldn&#039;t last a day. I often wonder if people with such negative comments have EVER had a conversation with the people they have so much to say about. My guess would be &quot;no.&quot; Nor have most of them EVER been to Detroit except to attend a ball game or the Auto Show. Yet they have SO much to say. If you can&#039;t say something constructive or decent, then just shut up! For the record, I&#039;ve taught just as many white students (in the city and suburbs) who were &quot;illiterate,&quot; lazy, rude, disrespectful, and couldn&#039;t read or write. So, it&#039;s not just a black or Detroit problem. It&#039;s an American problem. You&#039;re either part of the solution or part of the problem. Considering the general tone of the posts, it&#039;s clear to me that most people here are a part of the problem!!! 
Thanks TOBMOTBAV for your continued dedication and service.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Detroit Teachers and Principals are a disgrace to the Human Being Race to  collect a paycheck with no results in their students of the City of Detroit.   
The Principals, teachers, administration of the City of Detroit Public Schools are severe and extreme self- centered focus on their needs and are not being a service to  teach the children to read, write, and add.   A  Human Being person can teach a Dog, Cat, Lion, Bear to behavior in a certain way . 
The City of Detroit Public School is a Horror Movie:    Robocop is needed in Detroit.  
In reality  redo and renew the complete city.   Get rid of the Dead beat school administration, especially the School Principals  !   Get  rid of all of them, they have done nothing  !    Hire out of State Principals that can operate a school to teach students to learn ]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Detroit Teachers and Principals are a disgrace to the Human Being Race to  collect a paycheck with no results in their students of the City of Detroit.<br />
The Principals, teachers, administration of the City of Detroit Public Schools are severe and extreme self- centered focus on their needs and are not being a service to  teach the children to read, write, and add.   A  Human Being person can teach a Dog, Cat, Lion, Bear to behavior in a certain way .<br />

		<description><![CDATA[Is it any wonder?  Detroit has become a battle field.  It is my birth city and I grieve for what I have seen there.  Hopelessness; no sense of responsibility; government entitlement mentality, on and on.  Drive through this once lovely city.  It looks like a battle zone.  The house I once lived in , brick and once a solid structure, is in shambles ~ windows knocked out , etc.  There are parents there who may care, but for the most part, these adults just want to allow others to take care of them , sit back, do drugs and let the kids be taken care of by the system.  No law-abiding citizen cares to live there.  Decent teachers?  Unions do not spawn these!  When I graduated with a Master&#039;s Degree, in the late 1950&#039;s , women on ADC (Aid to Dependent Children) were getting the same money as I did, after having worked through college in 5 1/2 years.  Tell me what can possibly be right about an area that allows this? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I taught a science section  in a well respected all black college and the papers those students would turn in 
made me wonder who had even pushed them out of middle school with no grammar or spelling.  And now those people are teaching.  It doesn&#039;t surprise me at all that the kids can&#039;t read. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I would suppose many of the public school teachers are somewhat illiterate themselves.  I d like to see the results of a test given to public school teachers....with basic high school level math, history, geography, science and so on.  I am sure the results would be shocking. ]]></description>
