Hi! This blog is to talk about the events that are happening here at home but also around the world.
To start off I am going to talk about the big issue here at home. What is that? The Chicago Public Schools (CPS) teachers stikes. Teachers, I understand that you want more money, but really spending alittle more time in school is not going to kill you. You are finally reaching the same amount of time each day as us in the suburbs. I honestly dont care how much money you want. I am conserned about the 65,000 or so children that are not getting an education because you are not being payed enough. http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=news/local&id=8813679 Here is an article telling all about this. Thank you CPS teachers for finally ending it today and finally get those kids back to school.
Hey, Dmkohlin!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that the students were loosing precious time that they could be using to educate themselves while the teachers were asking for a better pay, but I don't think that not caring for how much teachers get for their salary isn't important. Money is, after all, the reason of why most people are motivated to do things. If teachers don't get a better pay,then they may not want to teaching us any more until they get more money for themselves and their family. Everything would go from bad to worse....I'm sure glad, though, that the CPS and the city lawyers reached an agreement, although the CPS is not really happy with it...
