Need force field around taxpayers to protect from these insane racketeers.
Not a word about bringing math and reading scores up to par. Just the usual DEI BS that establishes exactly ZERO measurable standards that show students are doing better.
“ We need a force field to protect our fat paychecks and pensions for not teaching kids anything in half empty schools.”
When in doubt blame Trump!! Kids can’t read blame Trump, need a day off blame Trump, can’t get your contract blame Trump. Blah blah blah , start looking in the mirror CTU your greed and unrealistic demands are your fault
Need a force field, call Marvin the Martian aka Brandon.
Does anyone wonder why student test scores are so low? Insane people run Chicago schools.
