    Chicago teachers have a median salary of ~$71,000. Cry me a fucking river.

      Go work as a teacher in those conditions and pay to live in Chicago on whatever pay you think they deserve, then tell me how easy they’ve got it.

      No one said they’ve got it easy Emerald! (well except maybe for holidays & that brutal 2 1/2 month summer vacay)

      But just because something isn’t “easy”, means it deserves our indentured sympathy :)

      I'd do the same thing. I'd want to punch him in the face, but I prefer not to be in jail to punching him in the face.

      They have miscalculated the amount of support they will get from the public. This will be regarded as a hissy fit that will inconvenience parents and doesn't serve kids.

    You aren’t going to get similes like that on a budget.

      Sounds like a second amendment issue.

    On the one hand, Illinois’ budget/pension problem is ... dire. On the other hand, the math put forward on how they can make so called “pension holidays” work makes a pretty strong case that the state of Illinois needs to spend more money on education.
