The teachers and CPS administrators should get a big pay raise because of the great job they are doing, just ask them.

Featherbedding is a time honored union tradition. CTU has the ‘run of the mill’, so pucker up and pay Chicago.

Don’t confuse a government jobs program with education.

The team of CPS and CTU is a complete and utter failure. But who cares right? Because most of the students are black. This institution and its teachers spend $28,000 per student and they still fail miserably, if they received $100,000 per student the result would be the same. The CPS administration doesn’t give a damn about education. And the CTU is just pure evil. And parents that send their kids to CPS are child abusers.

3% of 55 students are reading proficient. Since I did learn math at school way back when, I know that 3% of 55 = 1.65. So any money spent on this school was spent to teach 1 child to read, and provide day care for the rest. At least $240k just for the principal and assistant principal.

Instead of just a cost per pupil, it would be interesting to see the cost per proficient student.

I think that would be ($28,000 x 55 / 1) or roughly 1.5 million dollars.
