255. I'd add the Detroit school board to the list

of untrustables.

Has there been a mayor in recent (30 years) history who improved the schools? Does the mayor have the authority to improve the schools, or is it in the hands of the board?

Robert Bobb certainly seems to be improving the condition of Robert Bobb, and the governor just nods her head and smiles.

The only time anyone seems to care about the students is on "attendance count" day, when attendance drives the budget.

Do the teachers care? Or are they just surviving, teaching to the test, teaching to the disrupters?

I doubt if privatization will improve anything, but the current public system seems very broken.

:hi:
