Rahm Emanuel vs.Karen Lewis

 

    

 

Rahm Emanuel vs. Karen Lewis is not our fight!   The Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis is fighting for the interests of her teachers, not the interests of Chicago residents.   Mayor Rahm Emanuel's job is to improve Chicago.  If that means pushing out low income African Americans out side of Chicago, thus lowering Chicago's crime problem that's good for Chicago residents.  If Mayor Rahm Emanuel wants to weaken the Chicago Teachers Union, now that is the Mayor's fight, and should not be the focus of Chicago residents.

Community leaders, political leaders, and concerned citizens of Chicago should focus on helping low income African American parents raise well behaved children who read at grade level.

More Boarding Schools For Wayward Boys

Every future gang banger in Chicago is now attending a public elementary  school.   These boys need to be identified and sent to a down state boarding school.   President Barack Obama and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan should send federal dollars to the Illinois State Board of Education to establish boarding schools for boys who live in an environment that creates criminals.   Boarding schools for wayward boys is just one piece of the ending crime in Chicago puzzle .

It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.

Teachers Unions vs. Charter Schools

I asked a pro Teachers Unions proponent this question;


Can you make a good argument why a parent should not the their children to a charter school?

The response:

Hey, Marc: it depends on the kid and the charter school. the larger question is can you make a good argument why it's good for society to devalue the teaching profession by doling out contracts to charter operators who pay their teachers less?

My response:

Union teachers partly allowed urban schools to fail. Thus the Teachers Union allowed the devaluing of the teaching profession.   They should have helped create a education model for disruptive students, who come from destabilized families.   Good parents don't want to, and shouldn't have to put their children in a school with bad children.

My conclusion:

I feel some parents send their children to a charter school because they perceive the charter schools is better than a traditional neighborhood school.   I also feel some parents send their children to a charter school because they perceive the charter school will kick out the disruptive students.

When will African Americans stop the crime in our neighborhoods?

It seems impossible and it feels overwhelming.   The crime, the hopelessness, the lack of belief.   The sense that I can't as an individual, and we can't as a people.  Maybe we should call the police and have them lock up our sons, grandsons, and nephews.   Or maybe the Chicago Public Schools should teach lower income African Americans how to raise their children.  Ending the crime in Chicago is about rising children properly.  It is about using wholesome values to overcome the effects of American poverty.

Who will teach the children of the African American working class and under class  wholesome  values?   This responsibility falls on the public schools.  It will not start in the home for the home, meaning the parents, cannot teach what they do not know.   The public schools will have to teach parents and current students, the future parents, how to raise mannerable children who read at grade level.

African American politicians and preachers have failed, and they should support the Chicago Public Schools teaching parents  how to parent, and helping parents ensure that every grammar school student reads at grade level.

Stop The Crime And Violence In Chicago!

Every Chicago Public School student reading at grade level should;

·        Dramatically reduce the crime and violence in Chicago.

·        Dramatically increase the CPS high school graduation rate.

·        Dramatically increase the Chicago City Colleges graduation rate.

·        Dramatically increase the population of the city of Chicago.

·        Create more good paying jobs in the city of Chicago.

Send a letter or e-mail to Mayor Rahm Emanuel and CPS CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett urging them to insure that every CPS student reads at grade level!

Reading At Grade Level Must Be Paramount!

To Mayor Rahm Emanuel:

Mr. Mayor: 

You already know most Chicago Public Schools and Charter Schools in the African American community are up against a culture where education is not a top priority. So I will not waste your time bemoaning about the problem.

Here are a few suggestions to improve the Chicago Public Schools, thus improving Chicago.

·        Persuade TV and radio stations to air pro-education public service announcements every hour.

·        Developed a parenting seminar for all students CPS high school students.

·        Present different models of academic success to parents and students.

·        Set a goal and expectation that every student reads at grade level.

The public service announcements should inspire more parents, students, and concerned citizens to create a culture that values education.

The purpose of the parenting seminar is to persuade students to value education, and delay having children until they at least complete their post secondary education.

There are best practices of the top students and their parents.  Presenting different models of academic success to parents and students may inspire them to raise their academic expectations.

Every CPS student reading at grade level must be paramount!  Every student not reading at grade level should be tutored, inspired, and then awarded for reading accomplishments.  Also have all CPS students write their own short series, articles, and E-Book.   These writing assignments should not be judged or criticized!

Improving public education for low income African American students, and other CPS students is extremely complicated.   Mr. Mayor, I wish you success.

A Slave Mentality

Question: Why Do African American Have So Many Issues?

Short Answer: Mainly because we have a slave mentality.

Don't forget you must pitch the OLD black Male vs. the YOUNG black Male, and the YOUNG black Male against the OLD black male. You must use the DARK skin slaves vs. the LIGHT skin slaves, and the LIGHT skin slaves vs. the DARK skin slaves. You must use the FEMALE vs. the MALE. And the MALE vs. the FEMALE. You must also have you white servants and over- seers distrust all Blacks. But it is NECESSARY THAT YOUR SLAVES TRUST AND DEPEND ON US. THEY MUST LOVE, RESPECT AND TRUST ONLY US.
