190. My discussions have been about Detroit.

I'm not calling for the privatization of all schools across the country. However, if Detroit has 70 FAILING schools, then the Detroit School Board (note: I said school board, not teachers) are severely lacking in some regard and haven't been up to the task of doing their jobs.

What will it hurt to allow non-profits to come in and try to fix these FAILING schools? It won't hurt the students. The schools are already failing them.

I'm not saying that privatization is the answer everywhere, but it might be the answer in Detroit (at least for now).
