What do we say to leadership that would rather surrender than lose a fight?
Talking to IEA Presdient Cinda Klickna is just depressing. That’s why I don’t do it very often.
Her sentences are long excuses for surrender.
Diane Ravitch recently wrote a blog piece about the stunning 98% yes vote of Chicago teachers to a resolution for strike authorization.
Someone wrote to her and asked, “Yes. But what if they lose?”
Apologies to Professor Ravitch for reprinting her entire response. I want to make it easier for Cinda to read it. It is written about the CTU. But it could just as easily be about the IEA.
