Michigan desperately needs to diversify its economy away from manufacturing and do all it can to take advantage of this situation. But it needs a labor force capable of stepping up to the plate, and with nearly half of Detroit functionally illiterate, education reform has got to happen. I think would-be edureformers need to better acknowledge the close ties between urban renewal and education reform--it can help explain why people and organizations with no apparent connection to education become interested in change. Thanks to Edspresso for bringing us this insightful and telling piece from Detroit Free Press columnist Rochelle Riley.
