Watch out! Tribune, Joyce Foundation team up to push school privatization
The Chicago Tribune published some pre-digested results of a new public education survey they carried out with support from the Joyce Foundation.Shockingly, the poll results, according to the Tribune, suggest that most people approve of the Tribune’s positions on teacher accountability and school privatization.
Here’s what my look at the actual poll found:
Who responded:
- 50% of those polled were white. Less than 9% of CPS students are white.
- 30% of those polled make more than $ 75,000 a year. 87% of CPS students are from low-income families that qualify for federal free or reduced lunches.
- 43% of those polled do not know a Chicago Public School teacher or teachers’ union member. Really?
