Chicago Teacher's Union Plans For Transforming Schools?



Can the Chicago Teacher's Union prove the charter and turn around schools are not necessary?

What are the Chicago Teacher's Union plans for transforming schools like Fenger and Robeson high?

PS
Chicago Public School’s middle class education model doesn’t work for thousands of CPS students. A middle class education model presumes that students have educated parents that are helping their children prepare for college.

How do you transform a low performing student?


Arne Duncan, Secretary of Education
U.S. Department of Education
400 Maryland Avenue, SW
Washington, DC 20202

Dear Secretary Duncan:

How do you transform a low performing student into a student that consistently receives A's & B's?

How do you raise the self-esteem and academic self–confidence of a student so they can succeed in college?

Can you achieve these goals without parental support and involvement?

Responsibility & Values


Curtis Elementary School
115th & State Street
Chicago, IL


In my opinion African American politicians, preachers, community potentates stunt the intellectual growth of lower income African Americans.

Probably most high achieving African Americans had good parents, who sent their children to good schools, and expected their children to get good grades.

I believe most African American politicians, preachers, community potentates are not interested in making sure low income African American children are sent to good schools where they are expected to get good grades.

Yes, it starts in the home, but some homes ain’t the place where wholesome values are taught. Now this responsibility falls on the public schools, after school, and other programs to teach wholesome values to African American children.

What do you think?

Improve The Parents





The best way to improve public education in cities like Chicago is to improve the parents.

Now that is a touchy subject!

Most parents may feel offended if the public schools provided information on the best practices of excellent parents.

The public schools in cities like Chicago will have to be delicate and skillful with their tactics.

Parents have to be constantly reminded that a high school education will not prepare their teenager for a highly technical global economy.
