The War on Educators rages on in Chicago

[MurrayBannerman]

God bless Murraybannerman for keeping this conversation honest.

And we need more wars like this.

Semper fudge, my good friend.

[Mr. Illini]

Chicago is indeed in need of education reform, but it won't be accomplished through charter schools and non-profit interventions. It will be accomplished through teacher evaluation and increased funding.

Don't expect Mayor 1% to win re-election in 2015. He's thrown it away.

Funding for what?  As grating as a certain dominating poster can be, he is right that simply throwing money at the problem won't work.  What specifically is it that you think Chicago schools would need to have better funded in order to improve?

Not to mention, where would this funding come from? They have to pay the pensions out. That's already a huge chunk of their budget.

I don't think you realize how bad Chicago public schools are.

$12k ain't want it used to be. What a scam!

I would look for technological modernization, new textbooks, things like that.
