Good. The more they piss off the parents, the more unlikely a democratic high turnout will occur(I think).

Yes, it’s for the children — because the schools are so bad that every day the kids don’t have to attend, their IQ goes up 2 points.

The strike upended a district in which the vast majority of students are poor and minority. It also raised the concerns of parents who worried not just about their kids’ education but their safety. Chicago’s gang violence has spiked this year, with scores of shootings reported throughout a long, bloody summer and bystanders sometimes caught in the crossfire.

The district staffed more than 140 schools with non-union workers and central office employees so students who are dependent on school-provided meals would have a place to eat breakfast and lunch. But most parents refused to leave their children at unfamiliar schools where they would be thrown together with kids and supervising adults they may never have met.

Good for them! I hope they stay out until the folks get wise to their tactics and move to outlaw the union.

As soon as the union feels threatened the strike will end.

Union thugs. While I don’t believe any of give two beans for Rham - he is a communist jerk. And in some ways, we might even be gloating that he is getting a taste of his own medicine. But that being said - as bad as the students of the Chicago Schools perform - the only thing worse is what these selfish teachers are doing.

It is criminal what the Teacher’s Union is doing.

Emanuel, your filthy leftist Party has continually embraced the greedy socialist unions. Enjoy what you have created or join with the American taxpayers and children and FIRE ALL OF THEM! Then hire some people who can teach kids and are not afraid to be evaluated. The only people who fear appraisals are the incompetents.

There will be no Superman for these kids...the teachers union will make sure of that.

How anyone can defend the school system in Chicago is shocking. I also do not understand why I do not see more parents on my TV protesting the teachers....at least on the weekends?

I can’t believe it would hurt the kids because they weren’t learning anything from these teachers anyway.

At what point do they waive tenure?

This is about teacher evaluations?
