Public schools in Detroit, Michigan have been close due to terrible conditions. Teachers began to fake being sick to draw in attention to the various hazards all around the schools. Nine of the public schools have been closed since last Wednesday but the teachers are going to be forced to return to work. Some of the schools even fired the teachers that didn't show up. According to them the buildings are badly damaged, mildew is found on much of the walls and ceilings, rats run around throughout the halls, and the schools over-all are just ridiculously disgusting.
The fact that teachers who spoke out against the health hazards are being fired makes me so mad. The schools are filled with unlivable conditions and no one seems to be doing a single thing about it. The teachers have had enough and I don't blame them and their frustration one bit. I would never want to work in an environment that disgusting. The children probably aren't enjoying all the mess around them either. They shouldn't re-open the schools until they fix the disgusting damage like the mildew and mold.
