Sterotype Article
At exactly thirty seven years to date from today in the Detroit Public School system is yet headed down the bottomless pit of disaster. On Monday, February 19, 1973 in an article published by Time Magazine entitled “Education: Detroit’s School Head Toward Disaster” elaborates on how the Detroit does not have to money in order to prevent it prevailing destruction. The schools that need to be painted then still need to be painted today, which goes to show that not much has changed. As of today the Detroit Public School system is one of the worse in the country; and as it goes no one wants to help little Detroit. Thus stated in the article “ the white, aging majority still controls the political process, and many of them see no reason to vote for taxes that will benefit other people’s children”; even the city turned against the young minds by feeling as though they have no obligation to replace that lost revenue because legally the school district is a separate political jurisdiction, which levies its own taxes. Reports TIME Chief Edwin Reingold: “one gets the curios situation in which the city fathers talk about the schools as alien and not the responsibility of the government of the city whose youth they serve.” Mayor Roman Gribbs says “ sharing the federal money with the schools would be like getting a lifeboat and then cutting it in half.”
As of today with my inside view with my mother being a Detroit Public School employee for the past seven teen years has been singing the same song “I don’t know if I will have a job next year. In the system there are nothing but criminals, liers and thugs; just recently the principle of Kettering High School was using the school budget to pay for gas and take shopping sprees at Sam’s Club. When you have a public system that is as horrific as the one here in Detroit we should have people who want to help better the young minds of tomorrow. In my personal experiences being a DPS student from kindergarten until the fifth grade school was never easy because it was only about ten smart students in our classes and the others was just there causing turmoil to any one who was there for a reason. In Detroit the only rule is to survive and even fifth graders knew that and what I knew is that I wanted to go to school get a good education and not have to fight off any one who stopped me. The effect of my desire for a safe location and a good education I moved to Canton and attend the Wayne/Westland Public School District.

Hood to All but Home to me
The community which I will be examining what many consider the hood and ghetto parts of Detroit; but they are also the parts that I call home. Detroit is a very fast paced environment,where it's not hard to make friends, but nor is it hard to make enemies. Many assumptions have been made about the city as stated earlier in my analysis. When people spend time with out completely focusing on clutching their bag and look around they will see that there are a lot of good people here with kind souls and big hearts. Where ever there is a lot of poverty, deceit, and heart ache crime can be expected! In Detroit you will find thousands of hard working individuals who just want to make their tomorrow better than there today.
