In Chicago, the strategy is called "turnaround," and it involves removing everyone who works in a failing school. Proponents—including U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan—say failing schools need to start over with a clean slate.
Dan Abraham disagrees. He’s is with the union that represents most Chicago lunchroom workers.
ABRAHAM: Schools that are not achieving educationally are not going to be fixed by changing the lunch ladies.
Numbers obtained by WBEZ show that over three years, 285 support staff lost their positions in Chicago turnarounds. The district says just 14 employees won jobs back in those schools. About one in five found positions elsewhere in the system.
The turnaround strategy is going national. The federal government yesterday announced it’s giving Illinois $147 million to fix its lowest performing schools. Turnaround is one option districts can use.
Unfuckingbelievable.
Even the lunch ladies and the janitors get canned by the Obama/Duncan education "reforms."
You know who needs to lose their jobs?
Not the lunch ladies and the janitors at "failing" schools.
Nor the overwhelming majority of teachers either.
It's Duncan and Obama for putting policies in place that encourage mass chaos and financial impropriety
It's Duncan and Obama for putting policies in place that are making conditions in the public school system WORSE, not better.
Yes, Duncan and Obama need to lose their jobs and lose them soon.
And they will.
Oh, yes - they will.
Accountability is coming, Obama.
You have a couple more years of deform and destruction.
But you WILL be slinking out of Washington a one-term president with a reputation worse than that of George W. Bush.
The economy will make that a certainty.
Yes, it will.
Oh, yes, - it will.
