“fire then lot” should be “fire the lot”.
Close the public schools let the children run wild in the streets, it can’t get any worse there as it is.
> the teachers union is set to strike if the district does not agree to a 30 percent increase in teachers’ salaries.
A teachers’ strike would be the best thing for the students.
They’d have to be either home-schooled or they’d have to hire non-union teachers who’d have an incentive for doing a good job.
A perfect example of how out-of-kilter public sector union workers demands (and poor performance) and the taxpayers ability to pay for them have become. These mediocre teachers should be fired, not given pay increases. That they make this demand stridently, and issue threats along with it, is outrageous. Oh, wait, this is happening in Chicago. Never mind.
Wow a whole 5.5 hours to 7.5, God what a bunch whinny crybabies, but after wisconsin I am not surprised.
Poor Chicago
they make about 6, 7x what I do.
I suppose the next thing they’ll want is the summer off. Oh, wait, they already get that.
Shee it ... go ‘head ‘n strike ... th’ kids’ll prolly actually LEARN sum’m
Close the schools and pay the parents $10,000 per child to homeschool. It would be cheaper for the taxpayer.
Hey...Chicago teachez...I got yer 30% raise hangin’ right heah. Come get it. ;-)
Who cares. They are not teaching much of anything except acting like organized gangsters. Those not back in the classroom don't get paid.
Come on folks, they deserve the raise. Have you ever tried to teach ebonics to a bunch of thugs who have no interest in learning? /sarc
How much will the 30% increase pension costs?
Anyone need more proof these communist union teachers (redundant) are doing their best to insure the Cloward & Piven strategy to collapse the system so “Fearless Reader” can fully implement his Marxist regime?
Hell, I say give it to them and for that matter a $100,000 bonus to all.
There’s no way to stop this crap. The teachers’ union in cahoots with the criminal school administration have the public screwel systems pretty much destroyed. 14% proficiency?
Parents can’t help. Most inner city homes have only one parent, probably an unmarried woman who’s either on welfare and watches Springer/Maury all day, or she’s working somewhere desperately trying to feed a family that some male bastard(s) walked away from.
And then these morally corrupt teachers’ union thugs get in their fancy cars after school each day, drive home to their suburban homes, and work no more than 8 months of the year.
Disgusting. Out of control. Criminal.
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
