Well, Chicago schools are in session (supposed to be anyway) from September 8 until June 18. That's pretty much nine months
Point? So what? You don't think everyone else pays for health insurance?
Point? So what? You don't think every industry has people burn out their first time out? Happens all the time. As though "paperwork and political crap" are unique to the education industry.
Aww...because teaching is the only industry in which continuing education is required to keep a license? Six whole hours every 5 years...must be tough! Good God man, get over yourself.
Gosh, if the Chicago teachers only made decent money, they could afford $1800 every five years. Must suck living on $70k+ a year with guaranteed benefits and retirements and nearly 3 months off every year. But then there's the pressure of getting fired if you don't perform...
So I ask again, what are these teachers bitching about?
Where I am: School dismisses for summer June 3--Starts back Aug 7
A summer of 2 months and 4 days. Where is that extra month for summer?
Gosh, only 9 weeks of vacation. Must suck...
You should move to Chicago. They get three months...well deserved to be sure...
Clearly you have NO FRICKIN' IDEA what regular workers in private industry get in the form of benefits.
From the link:
Link: Chicago Teachers Union strike unjust | Washington Times Communities
Why is that? Where is it stated that a teacher cannot advance? Sounds like a union mentality there. What exactly would stop you from getting into administration, management, etc?
Chicago has a 25% drop out rate (50% for Blacks and Latinos) while the kids that do remain in class can't read or do basic math...and you want a bonus?! Good God man!
You mean you have to actually work while being paid? The horror...
Credit hours: Most professions are offered free seminars by sponsoring companies.
Bullshit. Some, yes, "most", no fucking way. I've paid for every CE class I've ever had to take.
Until you or any teacher could actually face termination for poor performance, nobody really gives a crap about your perceived "accountability"Accountability
Bottom line, you should be competing for your job just like everyone else. That doesn't happen when government monopolizes the market for affordable education.
teachers are fired all the time for poor performance you stupid fuck
