  1. I believe the gym should be repaired. I definitely think this since it is the school to have a musty odor. The teachers are not in the wrong for being frustrated about the conditions.

  2. The wooden floors are warped from rain damage because roof repairs weren't made.I think that this school should be fixed soon, because they cannot activity in gym period if without fix it

  3. Honestly I feel the entire education system needs to be reformed. There should be absolutely no reason a child in America should be subject to this kind of hazardous learning environment. This is the kind of environment that children in third world countries typically learn in, not one of the world's superpowers the United States. I also honestly feel that this is an example of institutional racism, if this school was full of wealthy white kids in New York City the government would have immediately spent millions to fix it. Inevitably the system is failing these precious young lives.

  5. This is a dreadful situation where kids are sent to a school where they can barely even learn. From the classrooms to the gym, everything is just a hot mess, and I feel bad. People in public schools, including myself, just take advantage of what they have. I hope that the school can make a come up, maybe they'll be on Ellen soon

  8. man i was looking at the picture and i was shocked. like man thats crazy that is uuuuugggglllliii boooiii. i mean i would not be in there my self, it looks unhealthy. and the teachers that are taking a stand to this are doing the right thing. because education should be provided to each and every student in the world to the best of our ability.

  9. The education system should be completely revised. I read that these students were still being failed despite the mistakes the school made. I also read that the gym has been terribly damaged due to rain because roofs cannot/won't be repaired... This is extremely vital in a young child's life with fast food stores being within five minutes of every direction. Obesity is a huge problem we deal with in this day in age, therefore exercise is a major key to success. I hope they get these problems resolved soon.

  11. i totally agree with how the teachers feel because they constantly complaining, and having to fail students because they have no enviornment to teach them in, its not fair and the board need to get they self together for the sake of those children, those are other adults children's education they messing around with. what if it was there children?

  12. This is something that should be replaced immediately. I see why the teachers are getting frustrated. The student shouldn't have to deal with this.

  13. Honestly I think the education system has failed us all. Nobody actually really cares about education any more to be honest school isn't about learning any more it's about passing. Students dont have urge to learn any more alot of us just go because we have too. Our school shave taken the fun out of learning and don't fund us for anything really the students pay for it all and not everyone can afford to go to the "Nice" schools so we have to settle with what he have and deal with what comes with it

  14. this is really a shame i mean how just how could a floor look like that, like explain who could possibly do this.

  15. I really do think they should have a better environment to work and play in. The government should do something about it.

  17. I don't understand how the communities that the schools like this are apart of don't do anything to fix this problem. Some students are treated like they are not a part of the future of this country and its wrong.

  18. I think the condition of this school very atrocious! I feel that anyone getting an education should be comfortable in their work space. I also believe that the school system should work on trying to better these conditions of the buildings and make them more suitable for everyone.

  19. This is unacceptable under no means should students have to play in the hallway because the school cannot fix the gym. The gym needs to be repaired no matter what the cost may be, every student should have the right to a clean safe school, and seeing this is honestly sad. This school needs to gather up the funds and fix the gym ASAP because this is only going to hurt the schools reputation in the long run.

  20. This is pitiful, I mean how could the school board, students, teachers, whoever let this progress it should be obviously fixed.

    ReplyDelete
  21. It's very sad to hear of the condition of this school. The students should have never had to put up with things like this. They deserve much better than what they are getting, and it's nice to see that the teachers and staff are trying their best to fix this issue for the childrens' sake.

  22. I can understand their frustration. The school honestly looks terrible. Repairs need to be made and there needs to be major cleaning done. It's disgusting and horrible to look at for lack of a better word. I mean no offense but that is not a proper learning environment for students and teachers.

  23. Students and Teachers alike should not have to work in such a environment. For the Detroit Public School Officials to allow that to go on for so long indicates that they had no plans to make a change for this school at all! Now that this has caught the eyes of CNN, trust that Detroit will handle all the issues with that school due to the negative publicity it is receiving.

  24. Some one really needs to do something. the teachers feel like they are failing, the students the students are not in the correct environment to lean properly, and the building conditions are not healthy. someone needs to try to raise money for this school and try to fix it. these childrens futures are at stake.

  26. Whoever works on the top of B.O.E, Needs to fix this. It's hard enough to the children and teens that have families that deal with financial Issues that can't get internet connection installed into their home or no devices to connect to the internet with. the children's Futures could be at risk, because of all the avoidable causes. to improve the environment of the school is saving 1 million futures.

  35. This is the ultimate form of an abusive relationship, orchestrated in the form of a school and the school system it resides in. Debts seem to be so deep that it'll probably be better to let other counties seize their assets and disband the district entirely, honestly.

  45. This is a primary example of educational abuse not by the people in the school, but by the state that funds and keeps the school alive. No child should ever have to miss their education simply because the school they have isn`t adequate enough for them to go to due to the building being a sitting hazard waiting to go off. The best thing they should do is have the state do something about it so that kids can get their education.

  47. My opinion on this article is that I feel bad for all the children loosing their educations because of the city's debt. I think they need to come up with fundraisers. It's selfish how a person think more about money then a child and their education that will have a huge impact on the world in the future. I swear if I was billionaire them kids would have that money with no hesitation.

  57. Honestly the entire education system needs to be fixed. There should be no reason a child in America should be forced to this kind of hazardous learning environment. We have to do something because we are going to have to depend on this generation to change the world. If they don't get what they need then we are in a world of trouble.

  61. No matter if a school is full of bad students or whatever the case may be...no students nor teachers should have to work in such an environment. They should get some type of help.

  71. I feel like the education system should be reformed, because kids are facing health risks at school in that type of bathroom. I don't think the teachers are in the wrong for demanding that the school gets fixed up, because they're looking out for themselves and the children. A school isn't going to be shiny from front to end or head to toe simply because there's many of people walking through it everyday, but they could at least attempt to maintain the school and make it look a little better and smell better. Their floors were damaged because of rain, someone could simply fall through the floor and break something. I wouldn't go to school, because I wouldn't feel safe in there, and the halls aren't supposed to have a musty smell. That's nasty and I really think the teachers weren't overreacting or anything of that sort, because I simply agree with them.

  74. Mia Reddick.

    No child or anybody to be generally speaking , should be apart of an environment that is not safe or clean. It leads to frustration and distractions to their learning. Odor-like smells for an example , will cause headaches and make that person feel like they smell like it too. With that being said, the teacher commentary on the situation should be into full effect and have a solution to her problem. If the situation is not being fixed it will result into more serious problems.

  75. This is the kind of environment that children in third world countries typically learn in, not one of the world's superpowers the United States. I also honestly feel that this is an example of institutional racism, if this school was full of wealthy white kids in New York City the government would have immediately spent millions to fix it.
