#1 Just imagine the reaction from the left if the headline were "Ryan Budget Plan Would Close Chicago Schools."

#2 Vouchers. A year of painful transition (like chemotherapy with cancers) will relieve decades of decay.

#5 Working families are scrambling to make alternative arrangements for child care.

That's awfully inconvenient for the parents but I bet the kids like it.

When my wife became unhappy with her school's pay schedule I suggested that she look for a job in another district where she could make more money.

Oh no, she said, I'd lose my seniority and my tenure!

The entire education system in this country is a colossal scam.

#6 This is probably the best education Chicago kids have had in quite a while - ain't no mis-education goin' on.

#9 Asking for huge slices of the budget when the money avail and the economy are in free fall. There are some real geniuses in that union. They will destroy it. Morons.

#10 The answer, of course, is to eliminate all handguns....oh, wait......sorry. Wrong article, or was it?

#11 Via the Instaprof -

“Chicago teachers have the highest average salary of any city at $76,000 a year before benefits. The average family in the city only earns $47,000 a year. Yet the teachers rejected a 16 percent salary increase over four years at a time when most families are not getting any raises or are looking for work.”

#12 Rahm gets gored by the twin horns of a dilemma; he likes the union boodle but he's got run to a city.

#13 The teachers are ok with the 16% (over 4 years) salary increase and other new perks, they simply don't wish to be held accountable for their performance the test scores of their single parent, under achieving poverty and slave descendent victimized students.

#14 Actually in my worst childhood nightmares I never had a teacher as scary looking as that union leader.
I think I would prefer the witch from Hansel and Gretle if I was a tike. The witch would only bake you and eat you.

#15 I had a teacher that could have been a union thug. I don't think they had teacher's unions back then. I was in the 3rd grade. Whenever she approached, I looked up and she rapped me across the knuckles with a ruler. By the end of the year, I'd break out in a cold sweat whenever she came near. I didn't learn very much that year. I also had some great teachers, none of whom were in a union.

#17 Mayor Emanuel is taking his responsibilities seriously. According to the Chicago Tribune, he has suspended fundraising for Democratic superpacs until the strike is ended, effective today.

#20 This is a set up for Obama. RE is a good little boy who will deliver. Politics as usual for the democrats. Look for a sweet hart Union bone deal for votes and money. Forget education, this about money and payback. No market prosecutions under Obama. The money people love him. Every scare of government action gives a boost to market deals.

#21 John OC yes. Those that didn't picket outside growled inside about how much they wanted to join in(too close to retirement). Union was a big mistake for children's education. The Chicago private schools graduate children with high school diplomas. The public schools graduate half of their students with diplomas.

#24 How come teachers never go on strike in July? Chicago will bend over and give them everything they want even though that school system probably creates more inmates than high school graduates.

#26 I'm thinking how much they'd have to pay me to teach in Chicago. A lot.

The union steward was far and away the worst of my eldest son's teachers.
