the chicago teachers wanted a 30% pay increase and now they are on strike

let them all go and hire new ones with a less generous pay/benefits package

the reason the student performance is so low is the teachers are greedy

You just continue to blow hot air and offer no proof or documentation to support your specious reasoning, and come across as a grumpy, ignorant individual who didn't fare well in public school. Could it be that your unresolved anger against teachers is really due to your own failure?

Just waiting for them to blame it on Republicans. The teachers strike in Chicago is a snow job. Obama is going to step-in and smooth it out with the teachers and get them back to work. It will look like the teaches caved on their demands and Obama and the screwball Mayor won a battle. The whole thing is phoney, its a show to make Obama look like a hero. _________________________ Liberty anywhere is a threat to Collectivism everywhere. Remember.... Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl

"your argument that if you spend more you get better results is an old one...." I'm not making that argument at all -- I'm just trying to get an answer to Bluezone's unsupported statement that "the reason the student performance is so low is the teachers are greedy." BZ has posited that the solution lies in cutting teacher pay and benefits. I'm simply asking for some supporting evidence for that outlandish proposition.

Zealot Zealot Senior Member Registered: 07/29/08 Posts: 1888 Loc: Yates	Pay is not the reason these teachers are on strike; they have already come to terms on that issue. One of the reasons that they are on strike is because of the districts requirement for a new teacher evaluation system whereby 40% of their evaluation will be linked to their students standardized test scores. The following link show that 79% of Chicago public school 8th graders are not proficient in reading while 80% of them are not proficient in math. in addition, more than half of CPS students don't graduate. Seems to me a better evaluation system is called for with these stats. http://cnsnews.com/news/article/us-depar...ficient-reading This data combined with the fact that these teachers are some of the highest paid teachers in the country, avg $76,000 annual salary. Obviously there is not link between teacher pay and teacher competence. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2012/06/12/how-much-do-chicago-public-school-teachers-make/ Edited by Zealot (09/10/12 03:13 PM) _________________________ "The best argument against Democracy is a 5 minute conversation with the average voter" - unknown
