What's not to like, some parents and local school council members said about the Chicago Public Schools' proposal for a pilot eight-hour day at 100 struggling elementary schools.
But some educators said the plan won't work.
Of course it won't. The Teachers Union would never go for this, not without massive increases in pay.
Unionized teachers slammed the proposal, which CPS says would use computers, software and non-teachers to supervise the extra two hours.
"To put an uncertified person in front of students should not be called education, that is called baby-sitting," Chicago Teachers Union President Marilyn Stewart charged.
Same thing with the CPS engineers, maintenance, janitors. This is another "smoke and mirror" proposal that hints at possible changes without anything substantial behind it. Kind of like Shortshanks touting 44 extra cops on the street in the face of a thousand retirements this year alone.
