Both parents of every child in the Chicago Public Schools has a full time daylight job? Really? Wow.

Meanwhile, homeschool parents got up and went to work teaching, just as they do every day

Rahm’s leadership is on display. Good thing his doesn’t have to be off desperately campaigning for Obama instead of actually doing his job....oh wait.

Charter schools will be open today because their teachers are non-union. I hope police are at these schools protecting the teachers and students.

Since the school feeds the children there will be a lot of hungry kids./s

Copy of my post yesterday at 20:39:29 for a similar thread:

.

In secret meeting...Rahm and Chi Teachers Union President...

RAHM: "I need for you to get all your teachers out and get out the votes for obama."

UNION PRESIDENT: That's cool, baby, but what's in it for us?"

RAHM: "You go on strike for 3 or 4 days and you and I sit in my office a couple of times a day until day 4 and watch Oprah and Judge Joe Brown. We come out every day and tell the Press we're getting close. On last day we come out smiling and announce we've settled for an 18% raise. Everyone is happy."

UNION PRESIDENT: "Sounds like a good plan. Ugh...Hmm...Aren't you forgetting something, sweetie?"

RAHM: "Oh, yeah..... At midnight tonight, go to 63rd & Stoney and park in front of that pool hall. I'll have the Police Commissioner send a guy to break the street light, so it will be darker. I'll have someone meet you with an envelope."

UNION PRESIDENT: "Make sure it's a thick envelope. I'll be 50 years old next year and I'm retiring. I means, I worked hard for this early retirement. I needs me a big fine White-man's House down in Palm Beach."

RAHM: "How about instead of a thick envelope, I send it in a brief case? It's DNC money, anyway."

UNION PRESIDENT: "You da man, sugar. Now, give me little kiss and let's go speak to the Press about my strike."

The avg salary of these teachers is about $71,000. Pretty good for part time work....that’s about $50 per hour PLUS THEY GET BENEFITS. Absurd....

Amazing! According to the article the teachers say the standardized tests are too difficult for these children. They are not taking into account that these kids live in poverty. Over 80 percent qualify for free lunches.

Basically the teachers are saying the kids are too dumb to pass and they refuse to be held accountable.

Also the school district is paying to send these children to churches and other organizations so they will have supervision at least part of the day.

Truly...it’s a very sad, sick way of life that is developing in this country.

Why do so many public school teachers send their own children to private schools?

I suspect that the “parent” in Chicago will hardly notice a difference in what the children are learning this week.

Well, it is Chicago, and its yoots will do what they do best: killing each other.

The head of the teachers union in Chicago thinks that it’s not the teacher’s job to teach? What should they be evaluated on......physical fitness?

So, the ratio of students to teachers and support staff is 12 to one. I doubt very much that the student teacher ratio is much less than 24 to one. In other words, in Chicago the public schools probably employ close to one “support staff” for every teacher. And therein lies one of the problems facing public education in this country. As with many other functions that have been assumed by government, it has become massively inefficient.
