Title: Chicago public school teachers ditched work today
Post by: richb on April 01, 2016, 03:41:07 PM
Don't know if this is getting any play outside the Chicago area.   Public school kids didn't have class today.   Nope not a holiday,  not a snow day.

The ironically named "Day of Action".

What would one expect from a district so bad, parents who let their kids attend such should be brought up on charges of child abuse.

They have explicit rules governing teacher walkouts and strikes in Washington state but there is zero enforcement. What the WEA (Washington "Education" Association typically does each fall is select a district to call a strike. Nothing regarding working conditions or unfair anything - they are chosen at random. And they get away with it - every time.

Back in the 70’s when New York Teachers Union went on strike someone asked Albert Shanker, President of the NYC Teachers Union “What about the kids, don’t you care about the kids?” And he replied, “When school children start paying union dues, that’s when I’ll start representing the interests of school children.

At least Albert was honest.

That was a long time ago though...
