I think its a big show that will have no go. The unions will choke that school off if they don't work out some deal.

Its too bad the children get stereotyped with the city. My guess is that there are 95 good kids for every 5 bad. The trouble is that its the 5 bad that seem to take up 90% of the resources.

I have always been inm favor of kicking the trouble makers out. They are going to quit eventually and kicking them out would allow the ones who want to learn to do so.

I grew up in CF but went to a Catholic school. Same mix of incomes and minorities that the city schools had except that if you caused trouble you got kicked out and went to the public school. They public schools should have the same option. People who are over the top get kicked out and myust attend very strict , lockdown types of schools until they are 16 or 18 , whatever is chosen. If you get kicked out of the normal school ou go to the "reform School". Give them oppurtunities to work their way back to the regular schools by good behavior. You keep causing trouble in the "reform school" and you get kcik out and become a problem for the police , not the school system.

Now you do have to be aware of the special situation in CF which is so high in non english speaking people. That problem needs to be addressed with federal money and if there is not enough then they can't allow so much immigration. zero tolerance for illegal aliens also.

Anyway , its a big mess but this latest action is so abviously a Union Breaking tactic that all the big unions will support the teachers union and the city will have to back down. My guess is they are running up a hge tab of backp[ay right now that they eventually will have to cover while the teachers enjoy some vacation time.
