Comments for Teachers Fight Back

Comment on MADIGAN QUOTE by Dave Venetucci

Always calling the political shots in IL quietly behind the scenes, Madigan has somehow been immune from taking responsibility of this state’s fiscal mess — despite being the key politician responsible for creating IL’s financial mess. Chicago Tribune columnist John Kass frequently goes after Madigan for his quiet political corruption, but nothing changes. It’s about time IL teachers start to lay blame where it should be directed. Madigan should be electoral target #1. His unchecked political power in IL is disgusting.

This is the first I’ve heard of a black hue. No one has ever reported that. Sorry.

Good to hear from you again. Our lobbyists are pathetic.

Are you sure the lobbyists for your state teachers’ union didn’t weigh in on this? Maybe the question should be whether the boatload of money you guys pay in union dues, a good chunk of which goes to lobbying efforts, is being well spent.

Comment on MORE PARENTS SECRETLY RECORDING THEIR KIDS’ TEACHER by Enlightened

I have already worked in a school where there are camera’s in the classroom taping, supposedly to help identify unruly students. Well the students do not behave any better and their all important test scores are still in the bottom 10 percent of the state. Teachers deserve battle pay in some schools and its not necessarily because of the student’s actions but because of the actions of incompetent administration, which includes school boards and parents.

We shape the people who will run the future.
If we are that unimportant than so are all these
Idiots making these rules. If it wasn’t for
A teacher these people wouldn’t be in the
Positions they hold today. That’s gratitude
For you maybe one day you won’t have
Any good teachers that will put up with this
Shit and we will really be up shits creek. We are already behind other countries!

It’s the same hypocrisy that has existed over the last several years. Politicians talking about how education is their number one priority, except when it comes to teachers’ salaries, benefits and input.

Disgusting. I’ve heard the attitude “teachers with master degrees don’t make any difference on test scores.” They’re basically saying education is worthless unless it somehow manages to motivate a student to perform higher on a standardized test. So higher education is worthless? Nice message for our teachers and students alike. Don’t bother with school! Its worthless!
