@Chicagoista @iadt I know personally how the state isn't giving schools the money they need, but Chicago gets more money then downstate does

[EducationFail @EducationFails]

@B_meson @occupychicago I thought the strike was about the students?

[EducationFail @EducationFails]

Polls show this or that but if those people got their education at Chicago Public, their education may not be the sharpest. #CTUstrike

[EducationFail @EducationFails]

@Chicagoista @iadt now in today's world we have to blame that on someone. Is it the teachers, parents, or the states fault?

[EducationFail @EducationFails]

@RayBeckerman these two facts correlate? Are you suggesting billionaires spend their hard earned money to protect public education?

[EducationFail @EducationFails]

@osPatriot @barackobama yea it would be too much if the military went on strike and the said "it's all about protecting the citizens!"

[EducationFail @EducationFails]

@RayBeckerman @carolegs52 @nwbtcw I'm all about rights but it doesnt do much if you can't read or write.

[EducationFail @EducationFails]

@OccupyChicago @b_meson makes sense considering the building will hardly be dirty if no one is using it.

@TeacherReality it won't matter if we strike if we can't get parents to be responsible and get involved in their children's education.

@TeacherReality Teaching to the test is a race to the bottom. Testing kills inspiration, love of subjects, reading and writing, love of ed

[EducationFail @EducationFails]

@TeacherReality I agree kids hate tests, but they sure don't mind sitting on a computer and clicking for Facebook or games for 5 hrs a night

[EducationFail @EducationFails]

@TeacherReality I've also seen great teachers cut to save the burnt out union tenured teachers who have no business leading a class.

[EducationFail @EducationFails]

@TeacherReality from the sound of the raise that upstate teachers were unwilling to take, I could see how it's not about students. #CTU

[EducationFail @EducationFails]

@TeacherReality really? I don't like standardized tests either but really? I guess the government invited aids too.

[EducationFail @EducationFails]

@TeacherReality too bad the union dues they are REQUIRED to pay goes straight to the democratic party.

[EducationFail @EducationFails]

Had a non Ed major hired as a one on one aid. Turns our instead of helping the kid she just does his homework. #educationfail

[EducationFail @EducationFails]

Word is truant officers can't do anything in Illinois because parents who never graduated can pull their kid anytime to be "homeschooled"

[EducationFail @EducationFails]

Kid needs special ed, parents refuse, school takes it to court, parents no show, school wins, parents pull kid for home school. #ILeducation

[EducationFail @EducationFails]

Had a student tell me he is ready to get his license so he can start being late to school. #educationfail

40 minutes into a class that's required to graduate a student finally shows up. It's no surprise his father is a school board member.
