Students take a stand

by guest blogger Jess

To go along with the more recent themes we have been talking about I found two article that are covering two different Detroit Public Schools that are affected by the control of the new Education Achievement Authority of Michigan. Students parents and community members have been rallying for an appeal. Because it's so early on there hasn't been much change in legislation yet but it is always inspiring to see the youth stand up for education. It may be a small step but it is a step none the less.
