As a former Clevelander, I can’t for the life of me understand why you’d want to work in that system.
Your life isn’t worth the risk.
Aren’t there many other options?
I was out of work and didn't have any prospects. But, you're right . . . I didn't really want to work in that kind of a stinking cesspool, but a job's a job until I might get another one.
Fortunately, the private school I was teaching at part-time, hired me full time. So, all's well that ends well.
Understand. Glad things worked out.
My Dad (RIP) graduated from East Tech in 1932.
Obviously it was a much different world then.
For teaching high school, I would dispense with "Ed" degrees, and require a degree in the subject being taught. The whole "Ed" degree system is a scam to put the education system under the control of a small group of education professors.
I would also use the military as a pool of instructors for some subjects. Military NCOs and officers spend much of their time teaching complex tasks to teenagers.
I think some illegal aliens granted amnesty should take their jobs..maybe then the unions would get fired up
Rahm is being “triangulated” by his own peeps...love it.
The only appropriate response to such an absurd demand...should be ROFLMAO
The CTU has no contract with the CBOE.The Air Traffic Controllers had a signed contract and a group of them decided to strike.They were fired as they should have been.
Yes,there may be a percentage within every career that has no business being there.This is what happened when the government entered into the workplace and education.You were told whom to hire.
My 2 youngest grandchildren are graduates of the CBOE schools.They are on academic scholarships.One is in New Orleans and the other in Urbana.The one, at the UofI, is in Honors Chemistry.They are good girls and do well in their studies.The chemistry major has been an intern at Wrigley Company since she was sixteen(3yrs).
A politician in Springfield wanted a CBOE teacher to give her daughter grades that the child did not deserve.When she didn’t get her way,she went to Arne Duncan. He called the school and told them to do what this mother wanted.He is with Obama and runs the Education Department.
Hats off to the the 96% of the teachers that do an excellent job with our children day in and day out.
