Would you enter a profession that is one of the most stressful jobs in America? I wouldn't. the mayor. They were striking on the basis of poor working conditions, low salaries, increase in health care cost, and the the way they were being evaluated. I am siding with the teachers because what they do is really important and they should be treated fairly.
The teachers in Chicago began their srike about two weeks ago and they have portested at parks, street cornners, and school buildngs. In my oponion, if the teachers are upset enough to stop working then there must be some major problems. The teachers used their union to fight against the new system of evalutation that included a high percentage based on test scores. While research shows that a year to year test score does not reflect a ture teacher performace. The teachers did win to have their evulutions incluede less percentage of the test scores.
The union also spoke out for better student teacher ratio. Many teacher felt that their classrooms were over crawed. They felt they could better meet thier students needs with fewer students in a class. Teachers also felt they could perform better if they had better training.
Techer were concerned about raising health care cost. As schools are closing, teacher are being layed off. They felt the process used for rehiring of the teacher and the hiring of new teacher was unfair.
