Chicago Teachers Union Votes to Walk Off the Job and "Teach" Remotely

All.

About.

The kids.

CHICAGO--The Chicago Public Schools, the third-largest system in the continental U.S., cancelled classes on Jan. 5 after an overwhelming majority of its 28,000 teachers and staff voted for distance learning, not in-person classes, in the latest effort to beat the coronavirus pandemic.

Objective journalism. But then, this is The People's World. I think it's a socialist newsrag.

In other words: Same as the rest of the media.

The workers, Chicago Teachers Union/AFT Local 1 members, voted 73%-27% in a four-hour electronic vote on the evening of Jan. 4 for distance learning.

But maybe there's a plot twist?

CPS CEO Pedro Martinez then carried out his threat to close the schools, virtually locking the workers out, even barring teaching by Zoom.

Indeed, the Teachers Union whines that they're being locked out of their virtual "classrooms."

Mayor Lightfoot has started locking Chicago public school teachers and staff out of their Google Classrooms. #LoriLockout

We'll see if Groot carries out this threat: Either come into work, or you don't get paid.

A friend points out that Groot is up for reelection next year and very unpopular, even in super-leftwing, Obama-mad Chicago.

Via Ed Driscoll at Instapundit, even Obama's Astroturf King David Axelrod is telling teachers unions: Enough.

That Times article is here, and it's not even behind the paywall.

They want people to read it.

After recapitulating the data on how kids are being harmed by school closings -- intellectual retardation, behavioral regression, psychological problems including increased behavioral issues, depression, and suicide -- David Leonhardt writes:

For the past two years, large parts of American society have decided harming children was an unavoidable side effect of Covid-19. And that was probably true in the spring of 2020, when nearly all of society shut down to slow the spread of a deadly and mysterious virus.
But the approach has been less defensible for the past year and a half, as we have learned more about both Covid and the extent of children's suffering from pandemic restrictions.
Data now suggest that many changes to school routines are of questionable value in controlling the virus's spread. Some researchers are skeptical that school closures reduce Covid cases in most instances. Other interventions, like forcing students to sit apart from their friends at lunch, may also have little benefit.
One reason: Severe versions of Covid, including long Covid, are extremely rare in children. For them, the virus resembles a typical flu. Children face more risk from car rides than Covid.
The widespread availability of vaccines since last spring also raises an ethical question: Should children suffer to protect unvaccinated adults -- who are voluntarily accepting Covid risk for themselves and increasing everybody else's risk, too? Right now, the United States is effectively saying yes.
To be clear, there are some hard decisions and unavoidable trade-offs. Covid can lead to hospitalization or worse for a small percentage of vaccinated adults, especially those who are elderly or immunocompromised, and allowing children to resume normal life could create additional risk. The Omicron surge may well heighten that risk, leaving schools with no attractive options.
For the past two years, however, many communities in the U.S. have not really grappled with the trade-off. They have tried to minimize the spread of Covid -- a worthy goal absent other factors -- rather than minimizing the damage that Covid does to society. They have accepted more harm to children in exchange for less harm to adults, often without acknowledging the dilemma or assessing which decisions lead to less overall harm.
Given the choices that the country has made, it should not be surprising that children are suffering so much.

But Karen wants to be part of The Laptop Class.

Could this be the start of a national counteroffensive against the occupying forces of Karen?

49 And teachers unions are never - EVER - about the students. That they even claim it is laughable.

More importantly, why should they be? The teachers union is there to advance the interests of its membership. Nothing else. Just like any other union. The students don't factor into it. Teachers don't work for students, they work for school districts. The only two parties that matter are the district and the union. Students don't enter the equation and never have.

Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at January 05, 2022 12:41 PM (DU+/6)

50 Comments to that Axelrod tweet were enraging. "School teachers are overworked and underpaid!" and so on.

If school teachers were actually underpaid there would be a surplus of teaching jobs. That's why there are jobs at McD's - they underpay. If McD's overpaid, there would be no jobs available.

Teaching jobs are sweet gigs, and that is why there aren't a ton of teaching jobs.

This. The last NYC transit strike, in which the striking union was supposed to be fined into penury and the strikers themselves were not supposed to get paid, was a total bust in that regard. No union fines, no docked pay for transit workers, and they got everything they wanted. No, they didn't want more pay - they got that already - they wanted to make sure that new hires were onboarded at the same pension status as existing workers.

They like being lazy. And now they have the best of both worlds. They have "remote instruction" (lazier than usual) and they can also report on all student activities on district-issued equipment, including what they search for and what they read. They get a nice, metadata-rich targeting system for their grooming, and they can move that into meatspace with "clubs and activities."

89 The vaccine lessens the severity of a covid infection.

99.8% of people infected with covid PRIOR TO the vaccine development recovered completely.

The vaccine does damage to the heart and other organs and has multiple side-effects that last long into the future, some of which we have no idea yet.

We've been irreparably fucked.

97 For the past two years, large parts of American society have decided harming children was an unavoidable side effect of Covid-19. And that was probably true in the spring of 2020, when nearly all of society shut down to slow the spread of a deadly and mysterious virus.

123 The Chicago Public Schools, the third-largest system in the continental U.S., cancelled classes on Jan. 5 after an overwhelming majority of its 28,000 teachers and staff voted for distance learning, not in-person classes, in the latest effort to beat the coronavirus pandemic.

124 Can't wait for the GOP to start pandering to the teachers.

I'm assuming they don't have a "strike any time you want" clause in the union contract, which means they're without protection right now and lose in arbitration. They have no contract clause to force the schools to remote.

They should go ahead pick all the school kids up, bring them to class, and let them sit there, then hold the teachers union in contempt. This is a quick fix.

134 Severe versions of Covid, including long Covid, are extremely rare in children. For them, the virus resembles a typical flu. Children face more risk from car rides than Covid.

Democrats ran numerous ads in the last election mocking Trump for saying exactly this. For an entire election, their messages was "your children will die!!!!" and now, out of desperation, NYT propagandists want to adopt more rational views so voters won't vote in Republicans.

That is the entire reason behind this article.

176 67 when we moved from NYC to central NJ, we had lower taxes and fewer " services". We were fine with that . Soon many from NY and Philly moved here and to the other nearby communities and proceeded to vote for more and more services. We are not talking garbage collection. It's an ever increasing array of senior services, both recreational and daycare with all the busses and staff and equipment this entails. It's recreational at summertime including concerts, public leagues, and a desire to service " disadvantaged" people in other communities. There is now a push to bring Trenton, Camden and Newark residents to our neighborhoods and schools at our expense. You see, there is a right to live in any community you like and they damn well better subsidize your housing and transportation. The donk candidate in the adjoining town failed to win, so the donks want to bring in a needy population

I have read about this as a thing, but it's not some new virus, right? It's testing positive for both influenza and SARS? If so, is this something I should actually care about? Is it just an artifact of finally having tests that can differentiate between the two? My immediate inclination is to shrug and say, "who cares? is it even real? if it's real does it even matter? whatever."

Can't speak for Chicago, but our local public schools made food delivery priority #1 during the lockdowns -- almost as if they were food banks/soup kitchens, not schools. I would be surprised if the Chicago schools are not keeping the school meal programming humming through all of this.

285 In the two school districts for which I worked, one in Western PA and the current one in Jacksonville, FL, the school board votes on the superintendent's recommendation whether school is in person or remote.

Days missed during a strike have to be made up (teachers are not paid until/unless they are). Remote learning counts as a school day. It is so unethical for teachers' vote to determine this.

The ONLY reason I got the J&J jab last March was to be able to teach in person without a mask. Had I known that the jab was derived from fetal stem sells, I would not have agreed to get it. That's on me--lesson learned.

286 So, there are 340,000 kids in Chicago schools and 28,000 persons in the union, and yet the average class size in Chicago is between 28-30 as a benchmark. Meaning over half the people in the union don't teach actual students anyway. I suspect the math teachers voted against the action.

It is true. The system is not working very well. Honestly, most people just need to be able to read and write and do simple math, like ratios. Maybe they should give up on social studies and gender studies and spanish/french etc. And just have kids reading and riting and rithmatikking, until they graduate.
The system only works for the motivated. It would be interesting if someone figured out a way to help the less motivated.

Pretty sure it was the other candidates' and the voters job to decide whether Trump was a good candidate. She also teamed up with the rest of the nevertrump douchebags to exclude Trump from Erickson's debate. (Which worked wonders for him, I might add.) Then she headed off to...MSNBC, super conservative site.

She thought she was more important than she was and lost. I'm not going to pretend she meant well when she was just another Republican shill attempting to stop the voters from having what they wanted.

392 Speaking of the "vaccines," Goober loves leaving droppings all over the Morning Thread when the Art Thread is up, knowing that nobody is going to respond.

Instead of reproducing the droppings, I'll leave a few questions for the "vaccine apologists."

1) Why is COVID suddenly the "virus where we can forget the rules completely" regarding epidemics getting less deadly over time, but more susceptible to spread? We're getting loads of reports about :highest case loads ever!" and yet nobody is talking about deaths. You'd think the two would be inexplicitly intertwined.

2) If we have to throw out all the rules because of this singular virus, why are we not placing more pressure on China (and Fauci, who poured money into the "gain-of-function" research) for releasing a bio-weapon instead of groveling and submitting to their social credit schemes and brutal party architecture?

424 Jennifer Psaki Psaki says you're 17 times more likely to die of COVID-19 if you're "unvaccinated."

I love these univariant equation people who only see binary results.

So ALL variants of C19, across every age, ethnic and sex demographic and every level of metabolic health, pre-existing condition, all with the exact same levels of early and late treatment are going to all have this magic 17:1 ratio.

I think it would be asking too much for the NNT (Number Needed to Treat) for this amazingly stupid metric.

502 All those teachers can just get fucked. Let them work the gig economy hoovering at rest area glory holes or giving handies under overpasses.

503 THE Ohio State University has cancelled all concessions for any University games BUT they have not cancelled concessions for Concerts and other events at the Arena because you have to keep that sweet sweet money coming in and they could lose concerts to Nationwide Arena. all this was done for your health

509 Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

The people of Chicago deserve this and they brought it on themselves. Screw them. They deserve to suffer for what they've inflicted on all of us, and they deserve to watch their children suffer. And the more enfeebled and incapable their brainwashed demon spawn end up being when they grow up, the better for the rest of us. This is divine judgement.

I hope the whole state collapses and they all rip each other to shreds. Like, literally.

He goes to school in the Tulsa area.

So, maybe he will not have to do distance learning.

Imagine me and you
(I do)
I think about you day and night
(It's only right)
To think about the girl you love
And hold her tight ...
