@kevinskol @AdrienneWhoo @CTULocal1 Only 71% of 86% of the teachers voted to approve; so 40% of CTU members did not agree to this. If @CTULocal1 really wanted to put kids first, they would let the HS teachers work so as to not disrupt finals week. You don’t need all the red t-shirts for your photo ops.
@usitsya @AdrienneWhoo @CTULocal1 Because the strike will only last one day?? If @CTULocal1 truly wanted to go what is best for students, they would let the HS teachers teach this week.
@WGNNews BTW - It is finals week next week for CPS High School students. How could CTU ask high school teachers to stop teaching days before final exams? Aren't the students suffering enough already?
@CTULocal1 The question is, did anyone else at school get sick as a result of being exposed by these cases??? This is how it is supposed to work. Wear masks, santinze your hands, social distance and quarantine if exposed. And then return to school. Not quarantine for 10 months and counting
@CTULocal1 It does not matter if someone shows up with Covid. What matters is if there is community spread at school. Stop gaslighting, CTU. It is possible to safely reopen elementary schools - it’s happening in Chicago and all over the country.
@ChiPubSchools Please don't mess with both Thanksgiving and winter break. These are important breaks for busy families who need time together away from the distractions/burdens of work and school, and are often the only time spent with extended family. Listen to the families and students!
Editorial: We wonder what words of solace Chicago Teachers Union President Jesse Sharkey would offer students who were shut out of the classroom, and the counselor's office, when they should have been applying to colleges. https://t.co/MZrojqBelh
After #ChicagoTeachersStrike , teachers union demand a bonus from Democrats: political control of Chicago Board of Education. An elected school board? After what they've just done to 300k students? Insane. My column @chicagotribune#CTULocal1#twill https://t.co/u5jtzF2XFT
@chicagotribune Sorry, CTU - actions have consequences. You opted not to work, you don't get paid. High school students are not getting back any of their lost opportunities, some of which may have long-term consequences. You chose your political agenda over your students.
@Suntimes Sorry, CTU - actions have consequences. Are student athletes getting to make up their lost opportunities? Are HS seniors getting to make up the loss of assistance with their essays that are due tomorrow? You opted not to work, you don't get paid.
