Teachers, Parent discuss DPS issues

I interviewed a couple of teachers who have been teaching with DPS for over ten years, along with a parent. They opened up about Robert Bobb and his new call to action for school closures and charter school conversions. They were also asked questions pertaining to the issues the district faces, including whether or not they would keep their children in Detroit Public Schools as opposed to enrolling them into newly established charter schools for the next school year. The good thing about these interviews is the fact that both teachers were extremely honest, considering the climate the district is in.
