Hey, Folks! Which Chicago educator is in it for the money?
The Chicago Teachers Union filed a 10-day strike notice Wednesday that moved the city closer to its first teacher walkout in 25 years and left the district racing to finalize a plan if more than 402,000 students are locked out of the classroom.
Parents also were left wondering what they'll do if their children have no classroom to go to.Do what thousands of Chicagoans do already! Send your kids to Catholic Schools.
Karen Lewis and the CTU waited to set the strike order so that CPS can get the enrollment count set for State funding. All about the children? I think not.
Catholic Schools are tuition driven -some folks call them "Pay Schools." You bet. You get what you pay for. For the last three years, every Leo graduate was accepted at the colleges of choice and then some - Northwestern, DePaul, Valparaiso, Purdue, U of I, and Loyola.
Catholic schools provide safe, structured, caring and academically rigorous environments where students are challenged to accept their better angels.
Tuition is a shared sacrifice between the parents, students and the teachers. Catholic schools are staffed by people who are committed to teach and motivated by Faith.
When was the last time any one can remember a Catholic School strike?
Tough one.
Tuition is a challenge and Catholics help people of every race, creed and color meet that challenge - The Big Shoulders Fund is one great resource for parents.
