Broke Chicago Public School System Lays Off 356 Teachers
Daily Caller, Aug 9, 2017, Eric Owens

Officials with the perpetually insolvent Chicago Public School system laid off 356 teachers and nearly 600 school support staffers this week.

The teachers and other employees received their pink slips from the taxpayer-funded school district on Monday, reports the Chicago Sun-Times.

Chicago’s elementary schools will have 240 fewer teachers this fall. Second City high schools will have 116 fewer teachers.

In addition to the 356 teachers, Chicago Public School officials also sacked 362 classroom aides and 221 employees who were security guards and special education aides.

Chicago Teachers Union spokeswoman Stacy Davis Gates blamed an ongoing budget battle between Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner in particular for the layoffs.

What do you mean?  You actually expect them to throw the ballast overboard, rather than the crew?

Well at least they are spending all that extra money they have on illegals.

The end result is not much different, with or without teachers in classrooms.

From what I've read about many inner city classrooms, the teachers need whips and guns to control their classes. Except they're not allowed to use whips and guns.  Not a lot of instruction going on.
It would be very interesting if they would install video cameras in those classrooms to see what actual teaching is really occurring.
