VOTING WITH THEIR FEET
Holy cow! This is a remarkable statistic:
38% of teachers pick private school
More than a third of Chicago Public School teachers send their children to private schools, a new report finds.
What do the g-school teachers know and when did they know it?

Here is the web link to the Thomas B. Fordham Institue study: One of the interesting things the study found is that because teachers have an inside look at the public school system, that when things are really bad public school teachers are way more likely than the public to send their children to private schools. |

Private schools can enforce discipline and standards. If a parent calls the regional officer in the CPS the region will back the parent not the school or the teacher. If you have a BA or BS then get a substitute teacher card for the CPS to get past security for some eye opening visits. If you do a walk through of some of the mid to lower performing schools, you’ll see chaos in the halls which carries over into the classroom. Dark Wing Duck |
