Whenever you're feeling down in the dumps, distressed at the turn of events in the world or simply empty inside, just remember one thing: you could always live in Chicago, so things could be worse. (With apologies, if you happen to actually live in Chicago. I got nothing for ya.) Out in the Windy City there's been a cavalcade of news surrounding the administration of Rahm Emanuel, his police department, his budget, his crime rate and all manner of disasters. But this story has to do with the teachers union. After months of tense negotiations with the city, talks over their new contract have broken down and they may be going on strike.

WooHoo! Kinda like congress being out of session. The kids will be much safer. But, I'm not sure if third graders made the sign shown at the end of the article for the 'teacher' to hold, but,....just sayin'. Maybe it's common core spelling. As long as someone kinda gets the message it doesn't really matter how you spell stuff.

About 25 years ago there was a rash of teacher strikes in public school districts. So many districts stayed open by hiring replacements that our then liberal Democrat Governor got a law passed that made it illegal to hire replacements, but didn’t ban striking by public school teachers.

The Board of Education should mandate that all students take achievement tests immediately before and immediately after the strike. The results will most likely show a marked improvement over the period.

Everything that has been going on there for the past few years....Rahm’s near-death election experience, rioting over cop shootings....is really all about this teacher’s union.

They are fighting a tooth-and-nail rear guard action to preserve their pension and privilege. Job #1 is to dump Rahm. Even he realizes that this union needs to be de-fanged if the schools have any hope of ever functioning again.
