40% of Chicago Teachers Are Chronically Absent. Those Gaps Carry Real Costs – The 74 Million

"As Tim Daly has suggested on his Substack The Education Daly, teacher absenteeism may be one symptom of a multifaceted problem in which schools have lost their sense of purpose. Student achievement is down, stories of fights and other forms of disruptions are rampant and teachers are being lenient when grading students even when the kids aren’t attending school or haven’t mastered the content."

It is better than getting welfare. Nice salary, benefits and a pension.

Absenteeism is up across all industries. Read… and clam down. I am not defending the CTU – they’re horrible.

Hmm.. how many industries are supported with tax payers dollars, produce an inferior product with a “ keep the line moving “ mentality and still manage whopping pensions and raises?
