Chicago teachers to go on strike after talks with Rahm Emanuel fail


1. Chicago teachers strike with an impasse against Rahm Emanuel, Mayor of Chicago.

2. The school district was facing a $700 million deficit.

3. The latest offer has been a 16% raise and an evaluation tied to student standardized test scores, but teachers aren’t having any part of it. They say that would cost 6,000 teacher jobs.

Who these days is seeing a 16% raise? Teachers have to be accountable for their performance, but the devil is in the details. Scores should only count from spring to spring scores, (No pre and post scores) and only students without attendance problems should be included in the evaluation. It should be on growth of performance and not meeting the standards of the grade. (one month growth for each month in school would be considered average)

They have already shaken down the students for the lunch money.

How greedy can they get?

For true reform we need to immediately close the Department of "Education" and outlaw the UFT.

And Dems have yet to get their talking points memo

 

[GoneBezerk]

Democraps are busy trying to show this is Bush's FAULT, surely he cut something in the Department of Education years ago to cause this mess for the kiddies.

The debt from 10 Chicago-area pension plans swelled more than 600 percent to $27.4 billion between 2001 and 2010, according to a study released Monday by the nonpartisan Civic Federation. That's $8,993 for each man, woman and child in Chicago, according to the report.

The shortfall comes on top of more than $83 billion in unfunded pension liabilities at the state level, driving the cost up to nearly $15,000 per Chicagoan, the report shows.

The report bolsters the urgency for pension reform expressed by Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Gov. Pat Quinn in recent months. In May, the mayor traveled to Springfield to testify before a House pension panel, saying essential city services and education reforms would suffer if dramatic changes aren't made to the city's pension system.

The main driver of the increase in pension debt continued to be a severe lack of contributions. The nearly $1 billion local governments put into the pension funds in 2010 was less than half of what was required to cover benefits promised to workers, the report found.

too many tax-burdened IL companies fleeing to Wisconsin and Indiana....etc.

Democrap unions and political leaders thought it would be a smart plan to give public unions lucrative retirement benefits to lure people to work in the public sector, while the entire time they ignored the costs involved with their grand plan.

Public unions have been living it up while the taxpayer was oblivious to the scam until the city treasure chest finally ran out of money and the public unions whined that they are untouchable. Everyone else in the city must pay out of the nose, but not the public unions because they are greedy piece of shit people.

Sounds like a newscast from "1984", Eurasia looks like it has the upper hand on Oceania then Obama steps in and takes control of the situation

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Why do the people living in Chicago even get to decide what they pay in taxes? The government should just take whatever it needs, amiright Komrades?

 

[Goodoledays]

fun......who do you think will win.......

pitbull Karen Lewis (Chicago's Teacher Union President)...?

or

nose-thumber Rahm Emanuel (Chicago's Mayor)...?

Hard to tell. They both look like they're in the third grade to me.
