This doesn't even tell me how many people are actually educators. If the public school system employs 8000 people, some are administrative, some are custodial, some are coaching staff. How many of those 8000 in Detroit and 6000 at Wayne are strictly educators?
It wasn't to specifically answer your question, just to give some facts, that's all.

I do not know how many of the people are actually teaching in classes, nor what they teach, but I'm sure that you could get those numbers from them.
Are you aware that 40% of all Detroit students now attend charter schools? Or that the Emergency Manager closed over 100 schools and cut 800 teaching jobs last year, increasing the classroom sizes dramatically? They are over 40 students in a classroom, and up to 60 in a high school classroom. All of this was widely broadcast through the media.

Maybe you don't fire the ones that you have?
