If the Chicago Public School teachers are so unhappy and so deserving of more money, why don't they just go somewhere else where they can get paid what they think they are worth?
Could it be that no employer agrees with the unionized teachers view of their own worth?
Or could it be that the good teachers with options have already left?
The fact is that the evaluation system for in the Chicago Public School teachers hasn't been updated for 40 years.
Does anyone think that fighting for the status quo of no accountability and more money is likely to be a winning strategy?
Or as the Chicago Tribune has put it:
"The knottiest issue in the strike is whether Chicago will stay on the national reform path. Or will Emanuel and CPS, under pressure to restore normalcy, cave to teacher demands and doom another generation of children to classrooms with ineffective teachers who are nearly impossible to dismiss?"
Me, I'm for better education for students.
And that makes me against the union and their fight to preserve the status quo.
