I gotta say, it seems like some unions are gettin' a little too caught up in politics instead of doin' what's best for the kids . I mean, I get it, social justice is important, but if you're not addressin' the basics like readin' and math, how can you expect those kids to succeed? It's like tryin' to build a house on shaky ground - it just ain't gonna stand . I think the union needs to take a step back and focus on what really matters: provide quality education to those students .
Ugh, I'm so worried about those kids in Chicago . The union is more concerned with their own message than helping these students catch up on reading and math. It's like they're saying "Hey, we've got a bigger issue to deal with" while the kids are stuck behind. Chronic absenteeism is already a huge problem - it's crazy that both teachers and students are missing so much school . Can't they just focus on giving these kids a solid education for once? It's not like the teachers aren't trying, but this whole thing feels super disorganized . Maybe if the union shifted their priorities a bit, we could see some real change in those test scores...
I mean, it's a tough spot for the CTU - they want to advocate for social justice but also gotta think about the kids' education, right? I'm not sure if "speaking truth to power" is always gonna be more important than basic literacy skills... I get that schools can be messed up, but shouldn't we be trying to fix those problems first? And yeah, chronic absenteeism is a huge issue - it's like, how can you teach when nobody shows up?
omg u gotta read this just saw that chicago teachers union got roasted by washington post for prioritizing social justice over students' education like, come on CTU can't you see that chronic absenteeism is a BIG problem in the district? and now they're worried about being "radical" meanwhile, only 43% of 3rd-8th graders can even read at grade level what's more radical, speaking truth to power or showing up to class on time? and btw, CTU president Stacy Davis Gates has some major red flags too - ignoring audits and calling testing "junk science" not exactly the most inspiring leadership
