July 23rd, 2008.The Mayor and his education czar feed the media their line on how much they do for education and why they must dip into the precious reserve of the Chicago Public Schools to spare the city a hike in property taxes. Only thing is they are spending dollars and losing sense by funding a semi-private shadow school system of charters and contracts that will never serve the youth in the city who have historically attended traditional schools.
ALL city council members and CPS decision makers should have to have THEIR CHILDREN attend a CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOL through the lottery system like everyone else has to!!!! Then you would see some major changes! IF our leadership does not send their children to a public school, then why should the citizens have to send their children? If an Alderman's child got shot at school, then something might finally get done.
