I know we have some Teachers in the Family...Chicago Teachers are Pissed!

Depending on who you believe, they make between $72,000 & $76,000 a year...Before Benefits are calculated...

  • They were offered a 16% raise over four years & turned it down
One of the protesting Teachers was quoted saying this..."This is an amazing display of democracy," said Rick Sawicki, a 7th grade teacher at Evergreen Middle School. "It is a wonderful lesson for children and adults alike. I'm honored that we are all sticking together. We all want what is fair. We want to make sure everyone is treated fairly, just like I teach my children."

  • The High School graduation rate in Chicago is around 53% of students that enter High School  actually Graduate High School...
How pathetic!

Pea, some schools are open! School officials said they will open more than 140 schools between 8:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. so children can eat lunch and breakfast in a district where many students receive free meals.

So all is good!
