    Hah! Davina Pulliam! 🤣 I was in the 5th grade with this woman. Her hair was EXTREMELY long as a kid. We went to Swift School. She was so quiet. I would ask her to be my girlfriend everyday until she finally said yeah just so I would leave her the heck alone! 🤣 Time flies. Now I have grand kids that are older than we were then.

    Rahm Emmanuel is a Wall Street crook his M.O just like the GOP is to illegally underfund, create a failing system than scream that privatization-- charters are the answer. Charters lack oversight and constantly overcharge districts with leasing fees and other hidden fees

      yea but charter schools dont accept kids with disabilities n he believes they should b homed school n not out in public. rahm Emmanuel doesnt care about the kids cuz his kids r in private schools. he will always b about money but some wanted him in saying that he was good n no all he does is cause pain n suffering.

    • @MYacono
      @MYacono 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      cdw070 in NJ there was a court decision setting up special "Abbott" districts that get additional funding from the state. Christie ignored the law and the formula and cut over 242 million in 5 years just from my town. Many schools look like the segregated schools of pre-Brown v Board of Ed. Yet Christie has created a record amount of corporate welfare, given more money in fees to his Wall street cronies then the previous 6 administrations combined, let Verizon steal 15 billion over 20 years for promised upgrades they never delivered on and then let them off the hook and allowed Pearson to divert hundreds of millions of school budget into their pockets instead of before and after school programs for the disastrous PARCC test. All the while he has allowed Charter schools to proliferate which has milked the taxpayers overcharging fr "management and leasing fees" . It is not a question of taxes its about not diverting funds to its proper places and criminally misusing funds to divert to political cronies like PEARSON and KIPP and I recommend you google "Pink hulahoop scandal"

  • @bertab6432

    I dont know why u just cant take what they give u. so u would rather deprive the kids of there education cuz u fight over money. how dumb is that. im a school bus driver for a company n that means i lose my job until u come to a decision. when i was school we didnt have to worry about this shit until u came into office. so do urself a favor GROW UP FOR ONE, DO UR JOB FOR TWO N JUST ACCEPT WHAT THEY GIVE U.

    Buffalo teachers in NY stand in solidarity with the CTU! We're facing similar acts of injustice towards our students in our poor communities. We must stand up and fight corporate agendas seeking to destroy public education not only in Chicago and Buffalo but across our country. A UNION UNITED WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED!

  • @taledarkside

    CTU making the middle class poor because they just care about getting bigger paycheck instead being the true public worker and doing it for their country, like the troops that serve in our military.

    • @jeffreygrossi5835
      @jeffreygrossi5835 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +taledarkside, did you even bother to actually listen to the reasons why they're rejecting the offer? Do you honestly think a teacher Union fighting for proper funding for their decimated schools and students will get rich off of a new contract? Making the "middle class poor?" Any person with an inch of common sense sees that this is not the case. Do you know how many school districts across this country, particularly in urban communities, break federal and state laws everyday by not providing required services for students with disabilities and English language learners? The large corporations aka the 1% billionaires want to destroy public education and destroy unions in this country. Teachers fight for their students and their schools because they actually care about society. Do they fight for other things too such as pay raises? Of course they do because they have a lot of responsibility in their jobs and don't get the recognition, albeit financially and professionally, they deserve. When did teachers turn into scapegoats for societal failures? I sincerely hope you look into the real trouble makers who are "making the middle class poor;" you're sniffing up the wrong tree if you think it's public school teachers.

    • @jeffreygrossi5835
      @jeffreygrossi5835 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +taledarkside Prove it? Can you prove that a teacher's union in a district that serves predominantly minority and poverty stricken students is "making the middle class poor?" Let me get this straight: you have proof that teachers who teach in minority communities and who make less money than their suburban upper class counterparts are somehow eradicating the middle class? Would love to see any article or data that can prove this irrational idea. Do you realize public schools in the United States have been underfunded for years? Do you think that when a teacher's union rejects a contract offer that it's solely because of how much the teachers are getting paid? Who do you think sticks up for students by fighting for smaller class sizes, proper funding and services for students with disabilities, English language learners, and both enrichment and assistance programs among other things? I can provide data upon data and educational article upon educational article that shows the decline in funding for public schools, especially ones who serve minority and lower class communities. Here are a few articles to clear up your ignorance. Feel free to read them and ask questions if you have them. I urge you to reach out and find out the true reasons why we are being told that public schools are failing.

    Do CTU members realize how dire their pension situation is? Do they realize that the city and union leaders are going to leave pensioners out in the cold when they go to retire and there's no money left to pay pensions? Read the latest credit downgrade by Moodys: www.moodys.com/research/Moodys-downgrades-Chicago-Board-of-Education-ILs-GO-to-B2--PR_903094214 This is no longer a question of negotiation. This a question of solvency and the simple math it takes to realize that the day of reckoning is rapidly approaching.
