Inside Detroit's Failing Public Schools
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2016
- Detroit Public Schools are in crisis. Dropout rates are twice the national average, schools are routinely failing health inspections, and the district is more than three and a half billion dollars in debt. In this short video, Atlantic associate editor Alia Wong traces the history of Detroit Public Schools-from a model for urban education at the turn of the century to a failing, debt-ridden system today. How did the school district decline so dramatically?
This video is based on the report, A School District in Crisis: Detroit's Public Schools 1842-2015.

"Detroit is improving because a school hasn't closed in 2 years"
you gotta be kidding me XD
Detroit public schools is a communist North Korea dictatorship the teachers are the kgb and the principal is the dictator
Roy I don’t know it’s really the school district
I wish I could do something 😭
Once upon a time I taught in Detroit for 3 memorable months of my life. The disrespect, lack of support, high expectations, violence was just too much for a highly sensitive soul like myself. On the last day of class, I bought everyone donuts and ran out of there.
How ironic - the aerial view of the school at the end is shaped like an F!
LMAO
Detroit is NOT in anyway IMPROVING! The city is falling to rust all because nobody will take care of it. It’s sad, Detroit was a bustling city in the 20th century and now look where it is now. It is the saddest place I have ever been😔 I am a resident in Michigan and attend my local High School, I live in Metro Detroit and we have not a single problem with our schools. Detroit has extreme debt on their hands and I see no signs of them trying to pay it off😔 I have Three years of High School left and by the time I graduate, I think Detroit won’t be a city anymore. Just a shell of what it used to be.....So sad
Jax Gradinscak John Glenn HS?
Oklahoma is gonna follow the same fate with their broke school system too.
People moving out the industry to South East Asia for cheap labour.
Jax Gradinscak I’m gonna guess you’ve never been to Detroit
The fact that you live in Metro Detroit and you're saying this is pretty sad. You probably to scared to go on the south end of 8 mile. compare the city in 2009 and now then come tell me that. Maybe go within the city limits would help the comparison.
In 1980, I was 16 Years old and remember the LOCAL news talking about the PROBLEMS in the schools in Detroit AND how they were going to fix it. Few years later, News story about teachers stealing computers and taking them home and/or giving them to friends.
37 years LATER...Same story
...... Problems in Detroit Schools.
THIS IS SAD!.
Generations of kids going to bad schools. And we wonder why there is crime etc.
Retirement money/bonuses should be taken away ????????????
When people get a pay check either way for doing " Great work " or " Terrible work " is never good!
Different day same shit lol
@Mister E. Racist
@Mister E. Black people aren't stupid that's like saying white people are the only smart people there are smart people and people that aren't smart bcuz they chose not to get a education or they never got one. Example: if they were in a poor country
No discipline, no learning. Shoot a couple of the thieves the rest will comply.
All Black School Board. All Black Teachers. All Black Students. All Black Administrators. AND it is STILL Whitey's fault. 🍉 🍉 🍉 🍉
WHO SAYS THE DETROIT KIDS AREN'T IN SCHOOL?! Detroit closes school buildings, then the drop-outs return to the school to loot and strip the place of copper plumbing. See, that's how Detroit gets their kids "back in school"!
Why not
One thing that's always missing from these stories is the level of corruption that goes on from the inside of the Board of Education and the Public School System across our entire country. That somehow never gets factored into the conversation...
And you know this how? Speak facts not your own personal opinions
@lezliecarter3695 It's not a personal opinion, though. You can do your own research and find out for yourself.
@@lezliecarter3695, I was there. So... STFU.
Crazy picture at the end. Dozens of city blocks each with 1-5 houses standing on each.
Wouldn't want blacks doing any home schooling.
richie nine not funny
detroit is not improving. your video is false.
If Detroit is improving, than Wal-Mart pays $936/hour!
I bet you aren’t even from around here, Detroit is way better than it was in the 80s and 90s
Detroit been going down hill ever since Axel Foley left Detroit to be a Beverley Hills cop in Cali.
It you look at what the city was like 10 years ago then yes Detroit is better. My university is in Detroit.
99% of the problem is that when you let the students rule, intimidate, hit the teachers and come to school only when they feel like it and then your school board is on these poor students side, this is the end result, who wants to be a teacher in Detroit only to find out that the school board doesn't have the teachers safety to be their number 1 priority, then, this is what you end up with, a broken down terrible school system.
Exactly
THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IN ACTION!!!!
Most public school around the US are like this.. it’s crazy. Give you a short example. Class when on a field trip. On the trip student hits a teacher. Instead of expulsion, stunner was sent back to class. And they moved teacher to a lower grade lever.... this is they way of public schools
No, I think the problem is that schools do not have the basic resources and funding needed to function.
@@rugvedkulkarni1593 they get enough funding Detroit gets more funding in education then even California it hasn't helped it's not gonna help throwing money at the problem never solves the problem
Detroit’s public school system looks hopeless. And it looks like Chicago’s public school system is heading towards the same hopeless direction.💔
Shocker.
I never let school get in the way of my education...
Mark Twain
50 years are up and it's time to go
SHEEEEEEIIIIT!
As a former high school teacher working in far east side Detroit City (Finney H.S.), it is very hard to see that the conditions of the majority of the schools are still deplorable. The funding which has been earmarked for the school improvement programs should be used for that particular purpose only! It is truly sad to see that administrators can not be trusted with public funds.
After all this is not about how I can get more money to be used for selfish gain at the tax payer's expense; it is or should be about how can I use these resources in order to improve the quality of my students educational & learning environment.
They were so nice before you low-IQ degenerates started moving to Detroit from the south.
How are they not facing jail time
Faults go to both the government and the people
Try Baltimore where so many teachers have quit. Education is a mess in America non existent.
Damn some of those schools looked like they were nice not all that long ago
I know who the problem is, and you do too.
Yes. Whitie of course 🤣
Yeah, it's all whitey's fault.
@@Kfowlkes09 🤣
Doodle heads
Who
The government is elected. The responsibility is on the people. Period.
When you see an entire city laid waste, that’s the people who live there. Period. The current residents inherited a thriving city, and in 2 generations have turned it in Mogadishu.
Detroit is NOT seeing a revitalization. It is dead and rotting. The ONLY productive thing to do with the carcass is to label the problem and raze it. Let it sit as a landmark to the wrong way to live.
@Tamera Bonner nice ad hominin. Do you have anything specific or real? Or is name calling the complete limit for you?
I think, probably, that you are part of the problem. I think, probably, that you should go live in one of these burnt out, shit hole cities, and either learn to be a solution, or live in filth and sqalor of your own choosing.
We all know what destroys our cities. We just don’t want to admit it.
You can’t blame race in this situation. How can you expect Black people and other POC to ever maintain a high quality of life when generations of wealth and jobs just leave? The status quo at that point is that the city vulnerable to issues like violence, which almost always brings poverty along with it.
@@josuekoenig1723Hmm...
Race wasn't mentioned....
@@why5482 I wonder what else they could've insinuated in that comment then. I hope just as much as you do that it isn't the case.
@@josuekoenig1723 Cappitalism and Explosive Grow. The city, like any other, couldnt take it. It´s not about race
@@manta9066 You are the reason schools fail, stupid. You are blaming “capitalism,” which you not only don’t understand but also misspelled.
Demography is the cause of the failure.
Detroit schools get 14,000 per student a year. Now imagine if you could decide where that 14,000 went. A teacher could teach 10 kids in her house and make 140,000 a year. If the teacher was bad you could just find another teacher. With that kind of pay there certainly would be no shortage. Now imagine having the same good teacher every year. That teacher would know your parents well and have a deep interest and bond with you. After imagining all of that why do we not have school choice in America? Why are these children forced to go to horrible schools when there is plenty of money already being paid to send them to a good private school?
Because Americans are brainwashed into hating anything that resembles the free market
Because “school choice” is a myth. There are always going to be low performing and behavioral students, and as time has gone on, they’ve been consolidated into districts and schools.
The biggest indicators of student success are SES and parental involvement. That’s why private schools work.
There is not one logical, rational person who can watch this video and not see the problem.
Tbh all they need to do is become human and this stuff wouldn't be happening
Stoopio's Productions You, sir, are the only one, seemingly, that sees to root if the problem.

L.A. Unified had similar problems during the 1980's. When every other district was paying about 55-70 bucks a day for a sub, L.A.Unified was offering closer to $200! The schools in the truly dangerous parts of L.A. had huge teacher turnover, you had to be either a masochist or a hero (or both) to teach there.

Always nice to see a fellow J.K. Rowling fan
Ew begone nazi
Sad excuses
Simple solution
Bring back accountability
Lots of blame to go around
Interesting on what political party
Runs all these failed cities
Also the solution has nothing to do with lack of funding.
And everything to do with lack of discipline.
I think a lack of funding has a pretty clear effect.
How did we get here? That's easy: The demographics changed.
Lava1964 white people left my black people another city and of course the black people after civil rights either ran behind the white people, or he let the conditions of the city decline. sad.
Black people suck at life
Swamp Yankee racist piece of shit
@Was Once Epic um, what numbers..?
@@abbythings The numbers in the video, doofus.
Detroit looked nice in the 60s but now... damn.
Let's face it: black culture does not place a great deal of emphasis on reading. Wilin' out? Yes. Playing the knock out game? Yes. Rioting- er, I mean protesting? Yes. But reading? Not so much.
James Rustler You ignorant fuck you believe what you're told to believe
+FaBuhbuh and just who is telling him anything? Not the MSM as they keep black crime under wraps. Not the government as they are always pushing a black victim narrative. Maybe he believes what he does because he doesn't bury his head in the sand. Maybe he has good enough eyesight to see what happens everyday in this country. Or maybe, just maybe, he refuses to be PC and won't pretend that a larger percentage of blacks is actually a good thing. The truth is never racist. Ignoring the truth is.
Paying-For-Freedom cmon man this is all part of the plan they keep minorities in no-opportunity communities (which they can make because you know they control the federal reserve ) and they keep us humans hating each other when really we all need to come together and see that the true problem are oppressors it's much deeper . Can you blame blacks ? They need to survive , all they know is gang violence so how else are they gonna make a living ??and look at the fucking schools !! How can you be so blind to the bigger problem ??
FaBuhBuh you make as much as sense as your username: *zero*
James Rustler i dont see what reading has anything to do with culture. White people have their little morning talk shows and everything you named is ultimately owned by a white person that is tv and white people are on those shows thats DEFINITELY not my culture
“How did we get here?” I could give you the answer, but you wouldn’t like it
“How did we get here?” Is that at rhetorical question?
Life After People
When you replace those who can with those who can't....no one will.
My trucking company doesn't want us staying anywhere in detroit, the chances of getting robbed is too high
Damn I’m from Detroit and this is just tough
When you punish success and responsibility, and reward failure and crime, this is what you get.
I'm from a southern state and it just doesn't add up to me that Detroit can cause such terrible education rates for Michigan and beat us out. It's not adding up.😕
Mississippi is a southern state and Blacks fail there too.
Interesting video.
The periodic table in the thumbnail looks familiar
The people there made the problems, thus, the people there need to fix the problems.
Which party's held the city? The democrats or republicans.
Godisgood Allthetime democrats politicians ruined Detroit. After the 1967 riots went down hill from their.
Godisgood Allthetime you really need to ask?!?
It doesn’t matter
Africanization sums up Detroit.
mike smith you're a moron
mike smith *sighs*
Frank Murphy, You brainwashed useful idiots always call names and make threats. What you don't make is any kind of counter-argument based on facts and logic. There are two differences between Detroit back when it was civilized and prosperous, and now that it is both socially and economically collapsed: 1) Republicans have been replaced by Democrats, and 2) whites have been replaced by blacks. Which of these do you think played a greater role in Detroit coming to look exactly like any other place run by socialists or blacks?
But, but, but....isn't Africa the greatest civilization EVER??? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@alanamoss8676 ofcourse they even culturally appropriated the wheel
I would never want to be a teacher in the city. There should be no head start. Parents should be responsible for raising their own kids the way I did.
"responsibilty and respect" are not in the vocabulary in this community.
Solution? Gasoline and a match? Then turn the land into farms or let it revert to forest.
And I complained about jail food in my school
1:50 You mean when auto plants relocated outside the country.
They left for the same reason your father left.
That started in the mid 1950s. Packard plant. It's almost 70 years later, so...?
Maybe students leaving for charter schools in the suburbs IS the fix?
it's time to push for home schooling, give people money for that
Even the adults should have to prove proficiency , tho. You have way too many fools wandering around. Contributing 0. They can't educate anyone.
Detroit: Become abandoned
And how were the contracts awarded to renovate the swimming pool at South Western High School ? If you're going to tell a story, how about telling the whole story.
Watch the movie "Waiting for Superman."
The reason of Detroit’s decline: Economic Decline. The automobile industry moved abroad and into the suburbs, so people in Detroit couldn’t have a permanent industry, so they collapsed. It could happen with any city.
That did not inspire students to disrespect teachers, police et al
@@phillipweissburg7871 so a life full of violence and poverty that is kept because of economic decline doesn’t influence bad behavior?? How can you expect new generations living in a broken inner city to learn or even show decency if it’s never shown to them. Income and the economy of a city is much more related to the quality of living then you think.
It can't happen with a city with at least 1 or 2 major industries in it. Booming from just the auto industry is literally just asking for everything that happened to Detroit in the late 60s-today to happen again. Look at Chicago back in the 50s Chicago a huge amount of major industries in the city meaning if one ended up leaving the city pretty much nothing happens because there's still a shit ton of other industries in the city where people can be employed in
@@tornn8847 That's what I'd have said. Started with that ginormous Packard plant shut down in mid 50s. If you have a house there and your job is gone, that's that.
In African schools there are at least discipline. Those thugs of Detroit would be severely punished there.
They wouldn't last 5 minutes in Africa! 😅🤣😂
This can't be fixed.
You are talking about what happened. You are not talking about how this happened.
Ken Wells everybody knows how this happened. It's the 50 ton elephant in the room. Guess what color the elephant is?
@@dyerseve45 epic gamer moment
Sadly sooner than you know it’ Detroit would be a green plain
Break the mind, keep the body
Zyou have no idea how bad I want my family to move out.
This is what happens when there is much government involvement they spend lots of tax money and accomplished very little ..they should now start privatizing...
Detriot has more spending per student than the national average
I go to a......................... private school.
If this is actually true then it's no wonder everyone wants to leave Detroit. I wouldn't live there.
As an African American student , I don't care about these comments because we know who we are . Don't get mad because of people who don't know how it feels.

Thank goodness I never went to Detroit public schools!
I think that in another 10 years from now, the Detroit public school system is going to completely fail.
Coleman Young and his gang is how it came to this.
Yep and there are buildings in Detroit named after that crook because first black mayor
Another Democrat Party success story!
Armand Rodriguez california vs texas? If California succeeds there goes the most tax payer money. If texas succeeds there goes what? Another Republican failure
But it's controlled by Republicans... even the governorship
Armand Rodriguez Betsy DeVos, the idiot woman who instilled the dumb idea of charter schools in Detroit is republican. It’s all for the money
America’s Team, You mean the same California that has more homeless people than every other state combined and that people are fleeing for prosperous republican states in DROVES?
Lindsey Mays you mean the state with the most population? Of course there’s going to be higher rates of something if there’s more people.
Detroit schools 🏫 were never 👎 good in the first place 😢how sad😮
If Coleman young was not mayor this wouldn’t happen
I feel like you have the systematic racism that pushed black americans to less privileged areas in the late 40's, 50's, 60's, and 70's. Through this time, racism was still so prevalent that segregation and discrimination such as not hiring black citizens caused them to be forced to stay in these poorly funded and abused areas. Inner city schools where students are mainly black are abused by the system. They crank out kids who aren't educated the right way due to lack of funding and in return they have to get low paying jobs, stay in the poorly funded areas, and the cycle continues for their children. Racism is still long from gone sadly.
It’s been a year - are you still anti-empirical and susceptible to low-IQ excuses or have you joined us in objective reality?

import more chinese/ indian people to detroit. that will boost the economy
And traditional Muslims.
The bane of public education today, is the lack of discipline enforcement, resistance to authority and the laxity of cellphone usage in the class. This is all generated by liberals running public schools and accentuated by too many lawyers trying to shake down a dollar. Teachers and ADM in public schools are afraid to enforce rules. They might be called racist or sued or fired for rule enforcement. The school student handbook used to be rules with consequences. Now just suggestions. Inflated grades are the just the results of the attitude that everyone should get a trophy. Knowledge means nothing anymore. The movie " Idiocracy" is exaggerated but possible. Makes one sick.
Yeah, everything is the fault of the "liberals", isn't it? Never mind the fact that the same problems, if not worse, exist in ruby red states like Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, etc. Also, you Trumpsters always complain about the teachers' unions (unions in general, actually) being dominated by liberals. But how does that square with your BLAMING liberals for students getting away with assaulting teachers? Teachers' unions are for REMOVING violent students from classrooms; it is the conservative administrators who fight that, typically.
I taught in Detroit's inner city for 35 yrs. No matter how fucked up it looks, there are amazing and brillant kids there who deserve a fair chance at life. ❤
White Guy
Get the hell out of Detroit now!!!!!!
The first 7 seconds are a lie. The worst schools in America are in the pine ridge reservation. We need to help them.
I went to 8 different schools in Detroit, to see them torn down is a disgrace. In comparison, Google the inner city Hamtramick and see the difference. Why? Because Blacks were told if you a Black Person, have trouble in Hamtramick don't call the police for help. As you enter that city you will see how Detroit use to be, orderly, clean, business as usual, so there can be only on conclusion as to why Detroit failed. There was NO police abuse that started the 67 riot, it was a bar that said we don't obey the rules about closing at 2 AM WE are BLACKS and we will do as we please. It started at Joy Road and 12th Street. They were not going to let White rules tell them what to do. In 50 years all of America will look like Detroit. Our factories are being closed and jobs exported out of our nation.. Wake up America, IF you don't elect an Independent Candidate this coming Nov. to Restore not Change America it's all over. WE have lost our way, and the Democrats only want our future to be The New World Order. It was good while it lasted, sorry but true. As your next President, I could save our nation, and put Americans back to work in American factories. Stop the New World Order, stop Agenda 21. Pray, that's all we have left.
Fine. Make the problem worse
Why are the Haitian/Nigerian immigrant kids doing so well?
@Waxing Chamber I know many Haitians. Mostly they come here with the clothes on their backs and little else, and yet they do very well in school, they work hard, they take care of their children, and enter the middle class in one generation.
@Waxing Chamber Oh and go to France, Canada, or any other Caribbean country, you will see Haitians doing very well.
@Waxing Chamber Haitians do well everywhere except Haiti
Just throw the whole state out. We gotta start all over again
dont make the black kids angry
Vote Democrat. What they did for Detroit, they can do for you.
A lot of credit for failure goes to Coleman Young.
Daniel Anderson or 100% of the blame goes to the fucknuts who elected him.
People could do better without school more important things is live your life stay away from drama and violence
Yeah, no, sorry. I've seen several grown men (last one was black, maybe 30yo) unable to read at a 5th grade level. And apologized. It was insane.
It should be required that people take classes online to GET educated. Nobody should get any assistance without it. Especially if you can't read, know nothing about money/loans/leases and so on that rich or usually white/Asian have drilled into their head at a very young age. Sometimes, I see a white guy on the lower socioeconomic scale not know that 7% mortgage interest is WAY too high. That's when it was like 4%...
It's never explained to some that YES, you need a bank account. YES, you need very good credit to do ANYTHING: get a job, insurance. Mortgage. A car. Even an apartment.
I've had people want to rent with 0 job and a frickin 400 credit rating. Yeah, no. Not going to happen. 5 adults once, not one job in there and the credit sucked, too. Then, when you say what the landlord wants (high credit score, move-in fee/deposit, app fees, so on...) people will scream at you. So, they go back to landlord and tell them what happened and that was that. Lol. Sorry. Same stuff I'd have to pay having great credit and a job, which really makes me mad. I resent people who don't put their part in.
Oh please. there's a kid in china that walks 4.5 km through ice and snow just to get to school.
@
Peter Bird I seen that how about the kids in Japan for the first 4 years of school they teach them life skills then they teach them math and other subjects
Families break apart and its down hill from there
Well, truth, women have to be WAY more careful who they mess around with. Bad decisions make more of the same. Marry, or insist in such if you have/want kids. It's way better for your kids in general.

It hasn't improved. The only uptick I can see is the state took over the finances.
Lets Defund Schools
Can we just be honest with ourselves and say that white people leaving and black people staying is what happened to Detroit?
So let’s blame the whites for leaving aka white flight and let’s also blame the white for staying. Yeah, sure ok.
Take some damn personal responsibility.
Life is a struggle for most all people regardless of race.
