[quote=Anonymous]Let me tell you a little bit about CPS. Like I mentioned on another thread, the average salary is $76k + benefits. The crossing guards, who work shorter stints than DC crossing guards at around 3 hours a day, make $18k for the school year. Pretty snazzy.

Their wages have not been frozen, they are getting wages with no money to pay for them, they are basically "tenured" it is a protected position. In order to be fired, one must fail to improve through 2-three month long review processes. Cheating the system is quite easy, and most if they are unable to avoid impending termination, quit so they may get a job in another school district. The repercussions for poor performance are virtually nonexistent. Much of the teachers grading is based off of self-evaluations. It's a joke.

Chicago has 22k public employees, yet the crime is awful, the schools are horrible, recycling is picked up once every 2 weeks, and many of the streets suck. Yet don't try to operate an illegal valet service or park your food truck within 100 ft. of a restaurant, you will get shut down right away![/quote]
