I tried hard to word a decent headline but the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) makes it impossible.
The teachers will not return to the classroom with the students in January. So the cash-strapped city will hire supervisors to be in classes and at the school with the students.
This is because the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) refuses to get back to work.
The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) took advantage of the situation (what else is new?) to issue new demands and collective bargaining. They even blamed the pressure to reopen schools on sexism, misogyny, and racism.
No, it had nothing to do with education and a child’s mental health.
CPS provided mandates that many schools across the nation already instilled: mask requirement, the distance between desks, take temperatures, new air purifiers, better ventilation, etc.
It was not good enough for the CTU.
But parents wanted their children back in school, especially children with special needs. Those children have missed many therapy opportunities, causing them to lose any progress and engage in self-destruction.
The CTU’s demands have come back to bite them in the ass because CPS knows kids have to be in the classroom...

oh those dedicated teachers....
stop paying them
they aren’t coming in to work
i thinkvthis speaks volumes about public education and teachers today
undeniable facts
This actually makes sense to some people. I am surrounded by aliens.
Anything to spend more money! These people are nuts!!!
What if I told you that the School District is not legally bound to hire teachers only from the Union?
Some lives are more equal than others, like government employees and their benefits.
I am beginning to HATE union teachers.
Probably true but not beneficial to a long life!!!!!!
Teaching with a face shield, face mask and gloves really sucks rocks.
Massive numbers of teachers quitting.
Would rather be unemployed if forced to wear that bullshiite while teaching.
Remote works so much better.
You got to be kidding. SMH.
Stop their paycheck. Sure, they’ll go on strike but how would that adversely affect their teaching as it currently exists?
The people of Chicago are getting exactly what they voted for.
Enjoy.
When will the insanity stop?
What if I told you that the School District is not legally bound to hire teachers only from the Union?
Both of my stepdaughters are teacher’s aides at an elementary school here in Northern Commiefornia and that is exactly what is going on here. But with an interesting twist. The teachers are right across the hall. They give my stepdaughters the assignments and then check in occasionally to update the girls on important information like that they are going on break or to lunch or home for the day. Weird, huh?
Leave it up to the idiots to create more spending for NOTHING!
