I have 2 Masters and 5 middle school endorsements. I am the kind of teacher that they do no want and will not hire at CPS. Since I have tenured, they will stop at nothing to rid themselves of tenured teachers who make enough money to feed themselves and have a roof over their heads. I have also noticed a new training technique that principals are using since Huber-Boy came in. Principals are being told to "Get teachers by any means necessary". This involves getting students who are severe and chronic behavior problems to attack, assault and verbally harass tenured teachers. When the teacher tries to defend themselves they get together with this student and concoct lies that are sent to the Law Department. I have a list of at least 15 teachers who have experienced this kind of attack. As far as Arne Duncan is concerned, he's quite an expert on how to rid the system of teachers who are over 40. I am sure that he will do the same as he moves from state to state attacking and firing tenured teachers. It is a sad day in education. To the young people that are being hired, remember, we were young too once. When we were hired they loved us too. Look and observe what is happening to older teachers. That's what will happen to you in the future! I am an African American Female over 40 with 23 years of service. I have 2 Masters and 5 middle school endorsements.

So I wanted to re-locate because they won't hire me here because I'm black and over 40...but with this news of him having all this money to spend to put his cronies in to privatize nationwide, there is no hope... what an awful day for education when this Mayor Daley henchman Obana's basketball buddy was unleashed nationally...I can only hope that someone is keeping an eye on his punchlist who is "profiting" off his "miracle" philosophy of education. Because someone will be? Follow that money trail OMG…
