The Education Follies

So why hasn't Bob Bobb been sent packing, along with anybody else associated with Eli Broad?

Detroit schools are being drastically turned around, and not for the better, I'm afraid:

Detroit Public Schools (DPS) Emergency Financial Manager Robert Bobb announced a new cost-cutting plan on Wednesday. At least 8 schools will close in June, and another 18 schools may be shuttered, depending on the willingness of charter school operators to submit proposals for the 18 named schools by June.

An additional 27 schools will be operated under drastic “turnaround charter options,” meaning they will be run as public schools, but the principals will be replaced and all teachers will either be fired or forced to work on a “merit pay” arrangement at reduced compensation.
