Chicago Teachers’ Union VP: Re-Opening Fight Wasn’t ‘About the Guidelines’ – It Was Distrust from ‘Generations of Neglect’

On Monday’s “CNN Newsroom,” Chicago Teachers’ Union Vice President Stacy Davis Gates stated that the fight over re-opening schools in Chicago has “never been about the guidelines per se in Chicago. It has always been about the generations of neglect, under-resourcing, and under-funding, and the defunding, quite frankly, of public education” which has created distrust with the mayor’s office.

Strange that there was no mention of "systemic racism," "unconscious bias," or "inherent privilege" as further (unfalsifiable) reasons - or didn't I read far enough?

Regards,

True Chicago style of you never want a serious crisis to go to waste, it’s an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.

Teachers wanted to keep staying home and get paid to eat potato chips.

I assume some portion of Xiden voters were legitimate. They own this. They own all of this and the curse that they are placing on the next generation.

The forced shutdown of Second City Cop blog has silenced a big critic of CTU slugs. They would have help to elevate the avarice and incompetency of CTU

Chicago teachers, what does that bring to mind. Exactly, my worst nightmare if I were a parent. I wouldn’t let my dog enter their classroom.

Chicago spends over 16,000 dollars a year per student.

It isn't the amount of money spent, it is the insane bureaucratic and top-down requirements of spending.

Idaho spends just 6,747 per student per year, and delivers a much better quality of education.

The difference is in the culture, the bureaucracy, and the corruption. A lot of it is in the insane demands of the Teacher's union.

It’s about misfunding. This might sound socialist, but it is a public school system, but schools in poor areas are crumbling while schools in affluent areas are up to date. Shouldn’t, again in a public system, the property taxes that go to the schools be evenly distributed across districts?

They can’t though, because parents in affluent would flee. About the Benjamin’s.

.......” Shouldn’t, again in a public system, the property taxes that go to the schools be evenly distributed across districts?”.......

Actually there’s a standard for that I believe. But to your question.....No.

Also school choice is part of the equation...unless Bidens scratched that too!
