It's sad so many buildings are left empty. However, a lot of Detroit has been "done over". Aside from the building, I feel miserable for the books as well. Having taught in the Detroit area a long time, the waste of the texts has long been more than rumor. I believe all districts are guilty of discarding out-of-date texts, sometimes never-used. What makes them out of date? So many reasons (excuses?) from their replacement by the newest fad-theory of instruction to texts being truly and seriously behind the times. I've rescued Latin texts, for example. So few public schools even offer Latin anymore. I wish we'd find ways to send usable books elsewhere, or at least offer the books to students. The pictures in the article are amazing.
