Chicago Teachers Union contract demands are totally divorced from reality – Wirepoints

Details emerging about Chicago Teachers Union’s upcoming contract show just how divorced its demands, both extreme and expensive, are from the reality at Chicago schools. It’s not just about massive salary increases, but also about money for migrant students, climate initiatives, abortions and gender-affirming care. About blocking parental notification. Count on CTU’s demands to veer further from reality until the public finally says no.
Weekly crime statistics from the Chicago Police Department: Report through 5/4/2024.
Gov. JB Pritzker calls it “ethics” reform.
It’s rare to see city leaders in Chicago take an open, unabashed stance on the collapse of literacy. To complain is deemed as too political, too racist or too anti-public schools. So it’s refreshing to see Willie Wilson, a successful businessman and leader of the black community, call for a literacy initiative “with the goal of getting 100% of Black students reading at grade level.”
Sounds like a CPS student.
CPS is graduating these kids who don’t have a clue about how ill prepared they are for life.
Disbanding CTU would be a good beginning, but the rot is even deeper.
Pity the children!
“At first, I was surprised — but then it dawned on me that she would have no way of knowing or understanding the march of history or the relationship of one generation to another.” Ummm……or a more accurate answer is that CTU aren’t teachers and that as a result this student is flat out stupid and will be worthless parasite on the economy and society. Bust CTU now.
I seem to remember her leaving office under some somewhat dubious circumstances.
