Chicago Schools

The teachers union in Chicago are on strike. The lowest teacher on the pay scale in Chicago makes $71,000 a year and has $17,000 in benefits. The school system is one of the worst in the country and out of 100 students only three make it to college.

They are now demanding a 35% raise , plus more benefits . Do you feel sorry for them? D you feel like they deserve a 35% raise? They also do not want to be held accountable for the performance of their students. This is the result of unions running wild in this country. President Obama says he will not weigh in on the controversy and will remain neutral . That's not what he did in the union controversy in Wisconsin when they tried to recall Gov. Scott Walker . He was all for the unions now the cat seems to have his tongue. The real reason is he does not want to offend the union bosses, who supply campaign funds and workers. According to the guest registration book at the White House union bosses have visited more than anybody else they seem to have a revolving door in and out.

Mayor Raum Emanuel of Chicago does not send his children to the public schools of Chicago they are in private schools that should tell you alot.
