Let me see...this is the same Chicago that you guys have been bitching about because of violence...teachers haven't striked for 25 years...you have no clue what they make or when their last raise was....but they're in a union so they must be bad. Did you even read the story link?

"Union leaders and district officials were not far apart in their negotiations on compensation, Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis said. But other issues -- including potential changes to health benefits and a new teacher evaluation system based partly on students' standardized test scores -- remained unresolved, she said."

"Lewis said among the issues of concern was a new evaluation that she said would be unfair to teachers because it relied too heavily on students' standardized test scores and does not take into account external factors that affect performance, including poverty, violence and homelessness."

I'd love to see what some of you would do if put in a position where your job was on the line because you couldn't get through to some of these kids.
