Compare that view with the response of the current CTU leadership to performance based layoffs. http://www.catalyst-chicago.org/notebook/index.php/entry/773Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133521035538248322.post-58305436102375930722010-08-30T22:00:43.109-05:002010-08-30T22:00:43.109-05:00Thanks.

Every teacher knows a teacher who tells the same story. It hits us at our very professional core.<br />Let me add one more issue: What happened to the CPS union contract? What happened to seniority rules. The rules served students by ensuring that experienced, high quality teachers were in every building.
