OH, THE UNBELIEVABLE HORROR « Teachers Fight Back:


OH, THE UNBELIEVABLE HORROR

Chicago Tribune Editorial Board, you are more hilarious than Governor Quinn. The lead editorial in today’s Chicago Tribune implies that a strike by Chicago teachers would do irreparable harm to the school children of Chicago. It would ruin the ENTIRE YEAR for those poor victimized little children. Oh the horror, oh the humanity if the school year were delayed a few days by a strike.
Among an entire page of nonsense is a quote by some unnamed middle school math teacher as saying, “To not have that first day, that new day, it’s like a firecracker that doesn’t go off. The momentum of the buildup is lost. Even if it happens later, that possibility of the freshest starts is lost. And everyone starts from behind.”
