Thank you Marcia Howard for saying all that! MFT local 59 People over property. She opened by saying public bargaining wasn’t about presentations in Minneapolis- it was about hashing it out and getting it done. 🔥 @CTULocal1 @ChiPubSchools

Marcia Howard, @MFT59 president, calls out banks that received bailouts when schools have needed support. “Where are we putting our money? With the creditors or with our students? We are not ‘investments’ that you profit from. These are human beings. They deserve the very best.”
Graduation ceremony at @NorthGrandHS was simply joyful.
A treat to attend as a middle school teacher.
Nice work students, staff and families. Congrats!
Felt good to fill in the bubble for @Brandon4Chicago !
Also pumped that I had the opportunity to vote for @CDRosa as my new alderman!
8th-grade @ChiPubSchools families are receiving emails today with their student's HS admissions test results.
Consistent with the entire CPS HS admissions process, the email is confusing and leaves families with more questions than answers.
Take special care of Chicago 8th graders today.
They need our love and support today as they take a particularly cruel high stakes test for high school admissions.
In 10 days @ChiPubSchools 8th graders will take the high school admissions exam.
CPS has forced students to take some pretty terrible tests over the years.
This one has to be the worst.
We have to give this ridiculous HS admissions test to @ChiPubSchools 8th graders on Oct. 26th.
It is timed.
We don't know what standards are assessed.
People with money are paying for test prep classes.
It will determine S's opportunities.
Madness.
Met with 8th grade families about the high school admissions process last night.
Another year, same feelings expressed by everyone in the room.
Confusion and stress.
Test Prep Chicago is a company you can pay $535 to prepare your kid for the @ChiPubSchools HS admissions test.
Courses are offered at a variety places throughout the city. They sometimes set up shop in schools: Here are the schools offering courses this year:
It is a high-stakes, timed test that covers content not aligned to district standards and curriculum.
