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.

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.”
If executed competently and with available optional daycare, it seems like it could work. Of course it should only be done if the unions demand it, because otherwise they’ll seek extra pay for it.
This is covid Lite. In many countries kids go to school 6 days per week. Our kids future is a Chinese boss or worse.

Hasta la vista, for repeated, obvious violations of standards any site maintains.
You just love censorship. That’s your only standard.
