The Chicago Teachers Union benefits from failure – Illinois Policy

"So based on its vast expertise in education theory, CTU is demanding Chicago Public Schools adopt its 'sustainable community schools' model. It wants 200 of these as part of its upcoming contract negotiations. The problem is there are already 20 of them, and they don’t work. All but one of the 12 elementary community schools fall below the district average for reading proficiency. All have lower math proficiency than the district average, which is already lower than the state average."
