Chicago Teachers Go Back To Work

The contract has not been ratified, but some of the changes won by the union: (Via Corey Robin)

• Almost 600 new art, music, and gym teachers
• Guaranteed textbooks in the first day of class
• $1.5 million for new special education teachers
• $.5 million for reductions in class size
• More than twice as much money for classroom supplies

Typical greedy teachers unions, holding out to enrich themselves.
