(CNSNews.com) - Seventy-nine percent of the 8th graders in the Chicago Public Schools are not grade-level proficient in reading, according to the U.S. Department of Education, and 80 percent are not grade-level proficient in math.

Chicago public school teachers went on strike on Monday and one of the major issues behind the strike is a new system Chicago plans to use for evaluating public school teachers in which student improvement on standardized tests will count for 40 percent of a teacher’s evaluation. Until now, the evaluations of Chicago public school teachers have been based on what a Chicago Sun Times editorial called a “meaningless checklist.”

The students and parents should go on strike. REFUSE to attend the daily public indoctrination meetings until the underperforming staff who went on strike are replaced.

These idiot NEA and politicians only have as much power a we yield to them, STOP giving them so much

Teachers on strike making 76k a year turn down a 16% pay increase.
