Bing for Superintendent of the Detroit Public Schools?

Financial crisis, low morale, and a poor success rate are all characteristics of the current state of the Detroit Public Schools. The turnaround of the public school system is the key to the improvement of the city as a whole. With the many problems, the superintendent of the schools must be someone with financial awareness, and strong business sense. Someone from the city who has the ability and awareness to turn around the failing school system is Dave Bing. As he campaigns for mayor, he stresses his work ethic and ability to get things done. 

While I believe he could make a positive impact as mayor, he would make a much bigger difference by working to develop a strong system for the youth. As schools improve, more families will move downtown, improving neighborhoods and the city as a whole.
