School Plan for Failure
- Chicago Public Schools on Friday released a much-anticipated blueprint for fall instruction, saying it plans to adopt a hybrid-learning model that will bring most students back for two consecutive days of in-person classes on a rotating basis if public health officials agree it can be done safely during the coronavirus pandemic.
Under the “preliminary framework” shared Friday, students in kindergarten through 10th grade will have two days of in-person learning and two days of remote work at home, plus three hours of real-time virtual instruction each Wednesday. When at school, students will be grouped into pods of 15 to minimize contact with other classmates. The 11th and 12th graders will mostly continue to learn at home, except for those who need additional support and those in vocational programs.
All juniors and seniors staying at home? During the most important year (junior) of applying to colleges? And the big year (senior) for topping off credentials, awards, and events? Anyone else getting the impression that this is simply to increase the annual dismal graduation rates from 60% to 100%? Social Promotions for everyone!
We renew our call for some Taxpayer Advocate to sue for rebates.

UPDATE: from a comment:
- My school (West Side) bought everything student who was part of the free lunch program a tablet, it included everyone, $860 tablet per student with all the accessories and software. They were given out during the free breakfast, lunch, and dinner pickup. We had 8% of the students participate with daily virtual learning. To make matters worse when asked to return the tablets at the end of the school year, less than 10% were returned and parents advised the tablets were lost, broken, stolen, and in more than a few cases being used by family members for “other things” all have CPS inventory numbers. When we asked the CPS administration what to do, such as report them stolen, we were told no, we will just buy “new ones” when the next school year starts.
Time to disband the CTU and pass a law banning strikes by teachers. If they're essential, they better be working like it.

Ghost payrolling
CTU is too busy trying to make Chicago more like Venezuela to worry about trying to indoctrinate the kids right now.
They should put those marxist indoctrination coordinators on notice that if they don't come back in September, they're fired. The students won't learn shit at home, what in the fuck are we paying all these tax dollars for? Damn it, enough is enough.
“...when asked to return the tablets at the end of the school year, less than 10% were returned...”
“When we asked the CPS administration what to do, such as report them stolen, we were told no, we will just buy ‘new ones’ when the next school year starts.”
Those losses were factored into the original purchase. CPS knew they'd never see those machines again. Your tax money at work!
“Time to disband the CTU and pass a law banning strikes by teachers. If they're essential, they better be working like it.”
It can certainly be argued that education is an essential government function. You're spot-on here. What are they going to do, vote Republican? With Madigan & Company running Illinois elections, what difference will it make? They'll vote for a Machine-produced RINO?

If they don't want to teach full time, don't pay them full time.
2/5 days means 40% pay.
No sports?
No music, band, choir?
No theater?
Might as well get a GED, that actually proves you learned something, unlike a diploma from the cesspool of CPS.
Get the GED, start college early, go do a military hitch, or find a career.
School Plan for Failure
It is a Democrat Plan, of course it will be a failure.
Besides, uneducated, ignorant, unemployed students are a core Democrat constituency. Anything to make more of them.
Breaking News.......Teen Pregnancies and STDs reach Epidemic Levels in CPD high school students.
As a lifelong resident of Chicago I have nothing to do with the Chicago Public School System.Did not attend and do not have children who attend those schools.Why am I paying for their failure,criminality,and outright yearly theft?
Well on the positive side with only 2 days a week in school the chances of children being sexually assaulted by members of the Chicago Teachers Union is reduced by about 60%.
If you really want to get your blood pressure through the roof, go check out the Chicago Teachers Union Twitter page. These little Bolsheviks all have hashtags of "defund the police" and other assorted SJW slogans, just disgusting that these vermin are brain washing the next generation of woke individuals.
Thats right, the "TAXPAYERS", residents of Illinois should be voting on whether Teacher's could ever strike or NOT!! Let us voters decide. Make it LAW NOT to be able to strike!! Start breaking up their corrupt Union...maybe the FEDS should also look into Sharkey.
Perhaps voters will someday wake up and realize how CPS is robbing its citizens of money. Fuck you CTU, CPS and Groot, what a waste. It's no wonder our school system is a Failure across the country!
It is time to ban all labor unions. Labor unions are like the mafia. Every worker needs to negotiate with management. Don't like it? Then find another job.
Stop referring to the FLU as the “corona virus pandemic.” This is nothing more than a mild case of the flu and 99.7% of people survive with mild symptoms if they have any at all. It has almost no effect on anyone under 18. Get these kids back in school now!!
How many of these CTU animals are Antifa organizers? How many have been pinched?
And remember, CTU jagoffs often don’t buy city stickers and plate stickers in a timely fashion.
They need to be ticketed to help pay for the Village.
It still makes my blood boil, I attended all catholic schools from kdg. through 12th grade, as did my kids. Why am I stuck paying the ridiculous amount of taxes for these dumb ass useless kids and for their so called teachers. Fuck their "plan", why should I be stuck with a bill for a full week when they are planning a 2 day week? How dare they make these juniors and seniors suffer because they are beyond lazy.
"The refusal of radical union leaders to reopen schools this fall unless their demands are met is not about Covid-19 – it’s a political act aimed at getting Joe Biden elected in November. America's teachers’ unions are composed of racialized political activists who indoctrinate rather than educate our children".

Disband and defund CPS and CTU now, because both suck! ☹️💀
And these $860 CPS tablets are probably at Wal-Mart for $260. Well, considering that every inner-City Wal-Mart was looted during the Lori Lightfoot Looting Spree of May 30-31st, I’m not sure if there are any left on the shelves...
What little education these kids were getting is now over. Just more uneducated thugs.

This would be the way it should be since you’re not working like you’re supposed to get your pay cut also take away the Benefits part time benefits of anything no five months vacations no 14 or 15 holidays it needs to end! Also why has been mentioned many times are the teachers that are teaching the city of Chicago living living outside in the suburbs using Chicago addresses so I’m using other city employees you talk about a big scandal enough is enough any investigative reporters willing to look into this?
The juniors and seniors will have a lot of free time to riot, steal, Wild downtown, deal dope, hang out on street corners, car jack and rob the elderly. Lori has to go.
Isn't this the same CTU that only a few short months ago was screaming that remote learning was "unfair", not "equitable" and in some cases down right "racist"?
Now remote learning is the way to go?
Why not just write this school year off and give everyone a passing grade and see what develops in 2021?
What does it matter? Many colleges have stopped using the ACT and SAT. Being dumb and illiterate should not be a hinderance to attending college.
Already emptied my house, closing end of the month and moved out of state. There is nothing more liberating than leaving this shithole.For the many that must stay, do what you have to do to stay safe.
Start making mandatory drug tests for teachers
Like every other branch of government, public schools are just a machine to shovel taxpayer paid freebies to the community. Free laptops, free food, etc. etc.
And they ask for yet more reparations?
If teachers aren't teaching (in-person), furlough them or fire them. Call it "the new normal" and pass the savings to taxpayers in the form of reduced property taxes?
The teacher's union has done so much damage to kids.
Hey groot,is there anything you have touched that you have not fucked up.I'm sure someone has it covered,but just to make sure,a big old school fuck u to you ya bug eyed blundering bitch.
If you have a child in a Chicago Public School in their Junior or Senior years you might as well pull them out and have them get a GED.It will look much better on their Resume than a fake Chicago Public School Diploma from these SCAMDEMIC years.
TAX REBATE on CPS and support staff only "working" part time.
How rare are injuries caused by vaccines and are they any more rare than those Covid casualties? Bet their pretty close. Kids will be injured either way. Also, can't wait to see the bump in teenage pregnancy as a result of being sat home for a year without any supervision, parental or teacher, with nuthin to do cep you know what.

Because the argument goes something to the effect of, "good schools = a good community."
But when does the "good school" thing become reality? I know there are many good teachers in the system, just as there are many good cops, but they're fighting a corrupt, inept bureaucracy.

I agree; if “essential “ then they lose their right to strike.
Binding arbitration to settle an impasse.

How can you spend $860 on a tablet??? The Chromebooks at my old CPS school in Edgewater couldn't have cost more than $150 tops and they worked fine.
What a crock.
the chicago public school teachers will not be going back to school this year. They don't care what the CDC or scientists think about in-school sessions, safety, and preparations. The pandering columnists of the Tribune are making a case for no school. But, not to worry, I don't think the kids learn much when they are in the classroom.
I seen a commercial on the cable tv about a company promoting OnLine Free Public Education...called K12. They’ve been around for a few years now, sort of charter home schooling. They also have a more better paid subscription. Neither of their programs are “accredited”. Gotta wonder why, given the fact CPS is registering below average in both grade levels and in-person attendance pre-Covid’s Plague, and the CPS hasty online program had a dismal start and disastrous ending...yet everyone passed ! A fricking miracle for 40% student participation and 100% teacher log-in rate !
These smart Red4Ed supporting “teachers” are on the brink of being replaced by laptops. Indoctrination doesn’t need a salary and benefits person to do the brainwashing.
“This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it. Dave, although you took very thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.”

Just have the teachers stay in the school and let the kids work from home . Simple solution. The teachers are full of it.
Is home high speed internet now free to?
How are all these poor mids going to be able to work from home unless they have the internet.. and last time we checked it was expensive??????!!!!!
If their is no school the blood shed will continue. The teachers and honor students can go to protests but can’t go to school. Drug test all teachers
Over 50 % of my property tax bill goes to the CPS of which I don't have children attending and never would !! I they don't want to teach don't pay them !!!!!!!!!!!!
The wheels are falling off the CPS continuing criminal conspiracy to defraud the tax payers and cheat the children of their opportunity to be educated and productive members of our society. The Rona Virus has exposed the CTU for what they are - frauds. It also exposed the Imp for what she is - a racist and a Marist.
Why don’t parents of jr & sr withdraw their kids and finish by homeschooling.
Take that state money from Lari.
I do however like that Lari has become the All Time Bitch of the CTU.
Peckerwinkle is laughing her ass off behind closed doors.
I honesty hope this plan derails many of the junior’s and senior’s future college aspirations. The kids looking at getting into the better schools are also the ones supporting the far left policies of these groups.
I keep seeing all of these woke future Karen’s and Todd’s marching, rioting, etc. Yet none of them are willing to give up their seats at prominent schools to minority students. I’m always amused that these woke white kids believe they have a better answer to the “communities” problems then people of color have. Now that is white privilege.

Because they purchased the $150 tablets from a connected supplier, who then gave a kickback to whatever school administrator, the CTU & politician/alderman that was in on it. Always, always factor in graft surcharges to the purchase price of anything bought by Chicago.

It's called activism! Social activism and it's a public education you learn fighting for change! They can only learn (hahaha) so much in public school, they gotta take it to the streets to earn that cred! I got faux arrest for protesting/marching etc the narrative is being written
There's no way to keep CPS' students, faculty and staff safe. The kids are behind from losing last year anyway. If kids return to CPS and just one is ill or dies, lawsuits will fly. Many kids' families will claim illness just from one sick kid too. ☹️
The Tablet cost is Extremely High
Costco has these Tablets for less money
Walmart has these Tablets for less money
Best Buy had these Tablets for less money
Tax Payers are paying the premium Price Again
Connected Supplier gets the Contract
Tablets are lost,Stolen or Broken
Let's be Real. This is the South and Westside answer to cover their Excuses
Probably sold for ????!!!
Some teachers will state that e-learning doesn’t work, thus, they need to visit their students at home and teach them in the privacy of their bedroom.
What CPS school did Larry’s daughter go to and what CPS school will she be transferring to when they move into their north side mansion?
I'd like a new tablet since they're just giving them away.
Actually, a pretty damn good comment above. Instead of spending 4 years in a CPS high school, a good, hard working kid with brains and initiative would be better off taking a GED course at a City Colleges site, then take 2-years at City Colleges, and then either finish up at a 4-year place or join the military, or trade school.
It's better than sitting in these gang infested, undisciplined shitholes that dont teach.

IL is one of the few states that won't let you take the GED test until your high school class has graduated.
I went to a crappy high school. As soon as I turned 16 I left, started working and learned way more than I would have in school.
ALso you have to wait until you are 17 to dropout now.
They considered it stealing to "cheat" them out of one year of state aid.
