Detroit Public Schools would close nearly half of its schools in the next two years, and increase high school class sizes to 62 by the following year, under a deficit-reduction plan filed with the state.
The plan, part of a monthly update Emergency Financial Manager Robert Bobb gives the Department of Education, was filed late Monday to provide insight into Bobb's progress in his attempt to slash a $327 million deficit in the district to zero over the next several years. Under it, the district would slim down from 142 schools now to 72 during 2012-13.

If I were living in Detroit, I'd get the hell out as fast as I can. Then again, dwelling in dollar a month houses in heavily blighted areas is mighty tempting.
Kansas City did the same thing shut down half the schools and fired half the teachers as well.

How's that working?
What's the class size?
When my kids were going to school in Japan (they have dual citizenship) class sizes were usually around 50 and everyone did just fine.62 kids in one class?
That poor city.
Wanna reduce class size?
End mandated attendance.
That will get the people that don't want to be there out, and the people that do want to be there will thrive.

I seriously doubt those kids are "fighting to stay in school" or "burning the midnight oil" studying.When will you finally raise the rich? Is there any justyfication for having billionaires when your country is going down to hell like this? Whad do you expect from a Pupil coming from a class or school like this? Who will carry your flag tomorrow?

Class size is a ruse to increase the number of unionized teachers in a school. Americas education problem is poor curriculum and out of control students.
But Americans don't wanna' talk about that.
