Trail-blazing Chicago Teachers’ contract includes protections vs. Trump edicts – Peoples World

Trail-blazing Chicago Teachers’ contract includes protections vs. Trump edictsThere’s “a national context” to the contract, too, Stacy Davis Gates contended. Defying Trump and the radical right’s agenda, it establishes schools as sanctuaries for Spanish-speaking students, both native and migrant. It insulates the school curriculum from whitewashing by Trump’s white nationalists, too. “This contract also protects people from the draconian evaluations process” prior school superintendents imposed, the CTU's Jackson Potter added. Those evaluations drove African-American teachers, especially men, out of the system. Chicago’s pupils are overwhelmingly from families of color.

Maine tried to FA and FO. The CTU, JB the Hutt, and Mayor Cliff Notes are about to FO as well.

CTU got what they wanted- no action. Teacher evaluations should be based on student performance. Student outcomes need to be used not only for teacher evaluations, but for pay. Teachers always blame parents. If that’s the case do the teaching in the classroom.

Wow. This is scary rhetoric. I guess Chicago and the CPS are not part of the United States. And Arne Duncan a “right wing” advocate? Really? You mean Barack Obama’s buddy and Secretary of Education for eight years. Let’s see in a few months just how tough Stacey and her posse is when the feds come budget cutting.
