. Once CTU members are elected to leading positions on the new board, the CTU will plot his own political course and instead of navigating in a direction which is most advantageous for Chicago pupils, the CTU will pursue its long-sought wish list. Armed with its newfound power, with bullheaded determination the CTU will dismantle charter schools, poison students’ mind by blithely approving new, warped curriculum, disregard classrooms led by educators who distill politics with scholarship, teach apologetics, and are intolerant of alternative views. Worse, the CTU will abuse its position on an elected board to augment teacher pay and benefits, and the union's sumptuous retirement plans. Under a CTU-led school board, Chicago can also expect spending to balloon and incessant demands for tax increases to finance Chicago’s consistently “underfunded” schools.
It a virtual certainty with each sequent election the CTU will expand its might on the board, and eventually become impossible for union members to be dislodged. As the CTU’s footprint widens, the union will exert itself at any cost to strengthen and protect its monopoly over Chicago’s schooling system. Should student performance grow slightly, the CTU will demand accolade for even minimal success. Should student achievement plummet, the CTU will engage in ritual scapegoating with a cascade of excuses which places blame at anyone or everything but their own failures.
Residents of the City of Chicago should sit uncomfortably with the Chicago Teachers Union controlling Chicago’s public schools. Though a grotesque thought, it is soon to become reality. Despite the approaching nightmare for Chicago’s pupils, there is one important point to be gleaned from the CTU’s seeming triumph: The CTU now bears complete responsibility for the success or failure of the CPS. With the CPS’ impending failure, perhaps only then will the CTU’s sinister intent finally be exposed.

“Begins? Public Education in Shitcago has been a nightmare for decades already.”
CTU has been wantonly corrupt for decades, but in the last 20 - 25 years its corruption has been on steroids. NO ONE should send their kids to a Chicago public school.

My late father was a country school teacher and part time farmer in the 1960s.
The only time I recall him cursing was when he had to join the teachers’ union or lose his job.

I saw bad government, democrat government, at an early age and got the hell out of that awful state.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list.
