Thread: If You Like Peanut Butter and Jelly You Might be a Racist

I wish them all Montezuma's Revenge.

For them and a few others of that elite group of brainyack educators, and so called school commissioners and planners that get the big bucks to think these asinine things up. Well don't think they should thank a "teacher" after all they didn't learn to think!!

Yep it is the top focus, why bother with the reading, writing, arithmetic, history, etc theory that is what they get paid for but don't ya know, "that won't dumb down the student population" they way they want...



I had to bring this over even though this isn't about Chicago, it works the same for everywhere our children are being short changed in our public school systems today. Parent need to get together and start their own program to teach thier own children, before it is too late.

I believe it may be already starting. Scott Walker and Wisconsin showed the way on dealing with unions demands on pay and benefits. Gov Jindal and the Louisiana legislature have already approved a state wide charter school program which the unions are fighting tooth and nail to undermine by threatening law suits. But I believe the charter scho0ol plan will prevail. As more and more states, school districts and parents become aware of what is really happening to all of the money per student we are paying vs the low level results being produced, there will be more and more demand for school choice, i.e., voucher system, charter schools ets. The position of the Chicago unions on turning down 16% raises over 4 years and demanding 35% while absolutely refusing to agree to using national standardized tests as part of teacher evaluations tells all we need to know about them in particular, and (I hate to paint with a broad brush but...) teacher unions nationally. Especially when stacked up against the pathetic results the current school system is achieving. Frankly, it is an abuse of the word "achieving" to use it in any context related to the Chicago school system.

If the GOP can take over the presidency and control the Congress, I believe in the next few years there will be a major push for nation school choice that has a chance of becoming a reality. I also expect to see a national right to work law.
