   Fire the whole city. Chicago is a broken blight upon the landscape. Sick people, sick results.

   People who work year-round do not garner 80k as is the average salary of a chicagoan does. Therefore, that argument of an increased pay is, moot.
   However, I do agree, that the teachers should, and have every right, to fight for better job security. The notion that students failing grades are in some way, the teachers fault, is perposterous!
   It is the schools and parents responsibility to ensure a safe and nurturing environment, that gives the teacher/student the foundation to achieve learning.
   Finally, I will address the written material in our school system by borrowing apart of Auden's (September 1, 1939)
   "Accurate scholarship can
   Unearth the whole offence
   From Luther until now"
   *Accurate* being the approtive word...
   That has driven a culture mad

   Pulling my hair out!

   "From Luther until now"
   *Accurate* being the approtive word...

   Should read:
   "...From Luther until now that has driven a culture mad..."
   "*Accurate* being the approtive word..."

   I have to re-post this for cohesiveness sake. The following is the corrected version.
