much as I despise rahm emmanuel for his politics, he wants the teachers fired if they are proven to be les incompetents and they want union protection for their jobs whether or not the subject matter gets taught to the kids. THAT IS WHY THEY HATE HIM
In most of the Chicago Public Schools, it is impossible to be an effective teacher. There are a handful of privilege academies within the school system to serve the needs of the politically connected and the elites, but the middle class abandoned the system decades ago. The student population of most schools is almost exclusively composed of impoverished children from single parent ghetto households. There are police stationed at most schools and metal detectors are provided at the main entrances.
No, the initial article is correct. Rahm “The Wonder Horse” provoked this strike. The unions are so tied to the Democrat Party that they have no where else to go.
He understands that the unions have become too powerful and are going to have to be taken on so he decided to do it before Republicans have a chance.
Teachers are already evaluated and it is a MYTH that they cannot be fired.
