The NPR news program All Things Considered ran a piece last evening about the struggling Detroit Public Schools and the possibility of turning 40 of them into charter schools. They talked about the challenges, who's for it, who's against it, and why, but what got my attention were the words of one teacher, recorded on tape.
I was in the car when I heard this story, but later at home I listened to it three times last night at npr.org to make sure I had heard right, and I had. What she said was:
"I am not givin' up on DPS, I don't care what nobody says."
I hope she doesn't teach English.
