The Detroit Public School system is broken from the top to the bottom; from the parents to the principals. Every proposal for change is met with resistance. Nothing can be done for improvement. Detroiters have four choices to meet the needs of their child's education: private, Catholic, charter (if you are lucky enough to get into one) or home school. Well, actually, they have a fifth options; they can move out.

What would happen, if on the first day of school next year, no kids showed up?
