AC 23279794 ...... THINK, if you can, about how MUCH it costs for One or two students who haven't the intelligence to HOLD a job, let alone find one cost the taxpayers WHEN : 
      1. The get into trouble with the law; stealing, robbing, stabbing, shooting and killing these SAME taxpayers in jail costs, court costs, police costs .

2. When the natural hormones kick in and there are children, that need to be fed, housed, health care issues and THEIR OFFSPRING repeating the SAME thing, ALL payed for by the taxpayers.

I was refering to what the school gets out of it. All the kids show up on the count days for free shoes, the school gets funded for that many students, then they don't have to show up again until they have another count day, when they will give away something else free. I guess the school will just have to find something to use all that funding on.

Maybe something productive, like....... CHALK?
Schools just have too damn much money?

If they were using it for something productive, maybe more than 24% would be able to read.

Having crappy students means you should just quit?

Original Message What a complete joke this school system has become. I live right near the Detroit area and their school district disgusts me. What ever happened to wanting to go to school to succeed. Why must they get a handout for showing up? People wonder why this generation is becoming so lazy...

Once a year, Detroit Public Schools pulls out all the stops to get students in their seats.
In 2010, the district enticed students with a total of $20,000 in Target gift cards. The prize for attendance in 2009: a shot to win a laptop, iPod, or 42-inch flat screen TV.
This year, every Detroit public high school student who shows up to school on Oct. 3 will be rewarded with a free pair of Nikes, courtesy of a local shoe store.
