Sorry to say but along the way they destroyed the public school system for all citizens in the process. The few years I spent in Michigan I remmebr that the town where I worked decided that they needed a new school becuase their old school was too old to support their needs so they built their new school. Guess what Michigan was a school of choice state and the dollars followed the student to what ever school they went to so a group got together and found fianancing and bought the school that was too out of date to serve the public. They made some minor updates to the facility and then opened as an alternative school for grades 1-7 and were so succesful that they added on and added complete courses through grade 12. Their scores were hands above the local schools and there was a waiting line to get in every year especilaly at 1st grade so you were in from the beginning.
