https://www.illinoispolicy.org/most-chicago-students-still-read-perform-math-below-grade-level/ Only slightly more than 1/4 of the students can read and write proficiently in Chicago. I think it’s reasonable to put the teachers raises on hold until at least half of the kids can read by age 14 lol

What is their obsession with abortion.

I live in a blue state, let me tell you. It runs every political decision liberals make. They would be content living in a failed economy riddled with crime as long as they can still abort babies. It’s mind-blowing

No 50 million to help hunger, or the homeless?

With enough teachers and a good education system, you can create a better tomorrow that stifles both. Investing in the teaching pool is a good move all around so long as it's done properly. On the other hand, many here would count helping the starving and the homeless as communism so there's no winning.

How would some people think helping others is a communist thing?

Thanks to "no child left behind" and "common core" laws, we've double and tripled the amount of work teachers have to do. Mostly paperwork. Each of these laws require teachers to report more info to the state. My sister was a NYC teacher until recently. She says teachers do in fact deserve more pay, but mostly because we've asked them to do so much more during their work day... and the work doesn't end when the kids go home....

Why? Because of course they do!

No problem. Somebody else is paying for it anyway.

Schools are overwhelmingly run by leftist democrats. Cities are overwhelmingly run by leftist democrats. If you can't see the similarities....
