Union: Chicago schools boss using 'scare tactics' :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: News


Well that's the School Board for you. They sure do have a big pair of nuts on them, don't they? Last week they screwed a disabled youth over by not providing transportation. Now they are ready to pounce on teachers. Is it just me, or has anyone heard them say, they (administration officials) will take a pay cut first? Nope.

There folks is the problem. The big money, greedy administration officials, refuse any type of sacrifice. They would rather cut teacher's salary, lay them off, and overcrowd classrooms. Now we have them resorting to threats. It's bad enough, they have already deprived students of actual classroom time. Students today, have more time off from class, oh let's say 30 years ago. Hell, even 20 years ago.

I heard a story, a long time ago, about purchases that schools make. They would order all kinds of stuff like, pencils, pens, coffee, cream, chairs, desks, well you get the picture. Just to run back and say "Look we spent the money allotted in our budget. Give us more". Meanwhile all this "Stuff", would sit in warehouses across the state. Now maybe some of you have heard, companies that ship such items too the schools, would rather "Destroy" the merchandise then take it back. Shocking huh? The point is, Chicago Public Schools, need to take that long hard look in the mirror, before they ask employee's that do the actual work, for a sacrifice. They need a showing of leadership, not several vehicles.

By the way, that story of merchandise in warehouses, can be verified. All you have to do is follow the money. It's better then threatening teachers.
