Kayla Hudgins, a former CPS student, said her teachers pressured her to participate in transcendental meditation as part of a “quiet time” curriculum. Hudgins on one occasion said she didn’t want to participate and was sent to the dean’s office. After quiet time, students were pressured to sign nondisclosure agreements to not tell their parents when they got home from school. Students were told if they didn’t sign the agreement it would affect their grades.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
I want heads to roll, teachers and principals fired and their illegal pensions cancelled. Until the individual criminal CTU members suffer this will never change.
What you want or think about teachers is irrelevant. Their pensions are not only legal but backed by the US and Illinois constitution. Don’t worry, your ability to whine about schools is also protected. See, everybody wins.
go soak your head for a change…..you talk like you are a teacher
Easy, Chris. Let’s try to be polite.
oh but they are such great teachers……….NOT…….been sayin it all along
Surely it’s not too late for you to become an award winning teacher. Time to stop complaining and judging from afar? Get to the doing part!
Nice non sequitur response.
Thanks, pain in the Rs.
Why and put up with the likes of you?? Things were civilized when I worked…..so save your SILLY comments for someone that cares……like your cat or dog!
Just what the world loves: passengers on board drinking and enjoying the cruise while complaining the rowers need to work harder. Another martini, your Lordship?
Drinkin’ your own koolaid again I see……!!
Shut CPS down period
They hide mediation but they opened try to transition your children.
