Detroit school administrators have decided to spend $52 million dollars this summer to allow nearly half of their students to attend summer school. What a wonderful idea! Schools sit empty during the summer and I always thought that schools should be available all year around for its students. There are teachers that would like to teach during the summer and pick up an extra income. There are always college students that would be willing to help tutor.
I think other schools could do the same thing. Many European and Asian schools at open 220 to 230 days a year. This compares to Michigan schools being open 180 days a year. Maybe summer school isn’t for every student but there are those students who truly love school and want to get ahead.

Summer school for Detroit kids would mean the older ones would be less likely to get caught up in street gangs and would help the parents of the younger ones from having to pay for child care in the summer.
