The kids are like ‘casualties of war’ in the Chicago Teachers Union’s power play to keep schools closed
The teachers in Chicago are well paid and they enjoy excellent, taxpayer funded benefits. Yet they go on strike regularly, and are de facto striking now. Meanwhile many children are languishing at home.
(From The Chicago Tribune)
“All those children impacted by these school closings, by excessive remote learning, the children who have dropped out because schools have been closed for such an extensive period of time, these children are going to be permanently scarred.
“They’re like casualties of war. And the war is the teachers union maintaining or enhancing their benefits while minimizing their workload and placing their employees where there is no risk at all.”
