Welcome to my regular Friday feature, Worst of the Week. As a white, suburbanite husband and dad of two kids, there’s a lot that can go wrong and this entry is all about how to fix it. I hope you enjoy it!
A few weeks back I wrote about our school system and the closings that have to take place due to declining enrollment. Our neighborhood school, Hickory Grove, is on the chopping block, but the final decision has not been made; it’s due Feb 12th.
This past week another public meeting was held and a number of parents came out in support of ne options including different school configurations, closings and redistricting – the latter of which is not being discussed seriously.
With that in mind, I give you a home video that was posted on YouTube that sums up our situation. I do not know who the speaker is, nor do I know who shot the video.

This sounds like a disaster! As a new father and one who will be moving soon and looking into neighborhoods, school districts, etc. this kind of arrangement is just too volatile to even consider! I hope this school district gets things under control or they’ll continue to experience declining enrollment!

Unfortunately my touch couldn’t find the vid, but I consider it ironic that our family moved to Bloomfield Hills FOR the schools back in the 60’s. How times have changed.
