Chicago schoolteachers go on strike

You're right Dadf, but to me, here is the bottom line
There are 3 US industries that come to mind that have struggled and mostly failed
- automotive
- manufacturing
- School system

All 3 of these industries have historically been UNION shops. Its no coincidence that they have all struggled.
Do you think Apple computers would be as innovative as they are if they were a Union shop? Think about it.
Do you want your kids to go to an Apple computer type school or a General Motors type school? Its that simple

I'm not arguing the fact that the Teachers shouldn't be graded on performance...I agree. All I said was that maybe we should also be listening to the students.

Did you ever have a teacher that lit a fire in you.....I know I did, and I bet every student has one...a lot of them might even have the same one...that should count for something.
