Furious teachers at a recently shuttered Detroit charter school were notified Wednesday that they won't be paid thousands of dollars they earned during the last school year.

"Last Friday, Matchbook Learning became aware that the holders of MTA's outstanding bond debt are refusing to allow use of funds for any summer payroll and instead, are requiring that any available funds be used toward payment of the bond debt," Matchbook's CEO Sajan George told teachers in the email. "We are disappointed and deeply saddened by this development because this means funds will not be there for July or August payroll."

    That's pretty neat!

    Don't have anything to add other than factory-model schooling doesn't work. However, I doubt a majority of students could succeed with that method. Somehow we all decided that the only way to let women out of the kitchen was to keep everybody of any gender out of the kitchen. It's very sad. If I could reproduce, I'd want either my husband or I, whoever was making less and didn't have as much advancement opportunity in their career when we tied the knot, to be the stay-at-home parent are our children's primary educator, at least until they started taking AP and college classes.

    For that matter, if one of the parents themselves don't feel they're up to the task, why couldn't a family member who can't reproduce take over?

    Oh right, the reason all of this would never work. Wages have been stagnant for the past 30-some-odd years while the corporations keep posting record profits, so it takes two working parents just to make ends meet, and nobody can afford not to work and provide other value to the extended family in other ways than wage-slaving, so people aren't happy about all of this, so the logical response to fix the root cause of this problem is to get angry at homosexuals and Mexicans and Moooooooooslims and kick a trans person's teeth in while we're at it. You! Faggot! That one doesn't look right to me! Get 'em up against the wall! Trump! Trump! Trink! Pink! Pink! Pink!

    Well, at least the hammers on parade look snappy!
