Hearings on School Closings Next Week

Below is a schedule of the CPS school closing hearings. The Teacher's union has been worse than inept and incompetent at addressing the problem, they've been uninformed and disinterested. When it was announced that Englewood would close in 2005, Ted Dallas visited the school the next day and told us all to look for other jobs -- Now that's a Union with some fight in it!

They will likely repeat some of those same mistakes this round, but more is at stake as their membership progressively shrinks. It is up to us to hold them accountable. I suggest that delegates attend these hearings and monitor if the CTU shows up and fights back -- if it doesn't the House of Delegates meeting next Wednesday would be a perfect opportunity to expose that betrayal.

The question for Wednesday is whether the Chicago Teachers Union will do anything serious to oppose these attacks, or simply go along with Arne Duncan and corporate Chicago after some minor huffing and puffing.

I inclination not agree on it. I think warm-hearted post. Particularly the title attracted me to review the whole story.
