  1. Liars figure and figures lie, there is not a 50K difference between the salaries of 155 and 47 teachers!

  2. Alden-Hebron (which you misspelled in the article) has a lower average than Harvard according to the numbers you posted.

  3. The American Federation of Teachers President is visiting Ukraine this week, to chat with teachers and kids.

    Reading and math test scores will plummet 30-40%.

  4. Am just exploring that ‘sweet spot’ of comedy space, where Teachers Unions go from currently being a punchline, to finally being prosecuted.

  5. Check this line. v v v v

    “The lowest turnover is in Fox River Grove–zero–while Cary and Aldin-Hebron exceed one-quarter of the teaching staff.”

    ^ ^ ^ ^ You spelled Alden as Aldin.

  6. Do any or all of the teachers in school districts in McHenry County belong to the AFT Union?

    Its leader, Randi Weingarten, not very credible.

    She defended CRT and other nonsense.

  7. Woodstock teachers belong to the Illinois Federation of Teachers.

  8. AFT teachers’ union president, Randi Weingarten, went to The Ukraine. A war zone. She is apparently violating an order by the U.S. Government that American citizens are prohibited from going there. She has to be careful with regard to the Logan Act of the U.S. also.

    Tweet by Randi:

    “Woke up this am to reports of disgusting Russian missile strikes in Kyiv, Lviv & other cities. Heading to the border now to assess the situation. This Russian attempt to frighten civilians & the effect on children (who are learning online today) is why this 🇺🇦 trip is so important.”

    Per WIKI:

    “The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that criminalizes negotiation by unauthorized American citizens with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States. The intent behind the Act is to prevent unauthorized negotiations from undermining the government’s position.”
