Ken Previtti has this up on the bullying of Chicago Teachers….a modern day twist of McCarthyism, where if you don’t tow the line, you’re blacklisted via losing certification.
Democracy, meet dictatorship.
This is unconscionable. The teachers refuse to subject the kids to it. The parents don’t want it. And the kids certainly don’t benefit from it. As Ken states, the only people that benefit are the education profiteer$ who sell the test prep, the tests, scoring the tests, and anything else they can think of to profit.
Are the parents not taxpayers? Are the teachers not taxpayers? And the public taxpayer who does not want CCSS? Again I ask, if the taxpayers don’t want this…then why are their wishes being ignored?
Meanwhile, in Indiana, they are going to push online learning to make up for all the snow days we had this winter….nice way to shoehorn the kids into online learning…
…and get rid of teachers altogether.
