The Daily Caller posted a phenomenal video this morning from inside a Chicago classroom. In the video, an unidentified student from Chicago’s South Shore High School goes absolutely ballistic on her music teacher for not teaching the class in spite of going on strike demanding higher wages.
“The unnamed student is loud. She’s viscerally strident. She’s tremendously disrespectful. At the same time, if what she is saying is true, it’s a scathing indictment of incompetence in the Chicago public schools,” writes the Daily Caller’s Eric Owens.
“You went on strike for a whole week to get paid to teach us,” the student yells. “And now you’re here, and you don’t want to teach. Man, you better teach me something.”
According to NewsOne.com, Chicago teachers are some of the highest paid in the country, making an average of $76,000 per year. But the Chicago teacher’s union president, Karen Lewis, said her members were not happy and led them to strike. The strike ultimately led to annual pay raises and other benefits. But even that wasn’t enough for Lewis. “They’re not happy with the agreement. They’d like it to actually be a lot better.”
Clearly at least one student doesn’t feel like she’s getting her money’s worth.
