Can you imagine thinking you are going to walk away from a grueling and according to my source, (a current d65 teacher and Create graduate-thankfully from NLU), a HELLACIOUS and AWFUL program with a degree from NU or NLU but end up with one from Chicago State? Wow. I don’t even know what to say. I suppose free is free, but what a bait and switch. NLU wanted to continue to work with d65 on this. It was the Horton Administration that gave them the middle finger. The fish stinks from the head. And it will continue to do so until every last vestige of the Horton Era is gone from the JEH Building and from the Board of Ed. Wake up, people. Tell your friends and neighbors to get involved. Every article here gets worse and worse. I really want the Hayden Jazz Charter School or a good voucher program. To be honest, on paper, the Create program sounds really good to me. I’d love it especially if it attracted more men to the classroom, I don’t care what color they are. I’d hate to think that we end up like AZ where any old fool can walk up and apply to teach and be hired. It’s good to incentivize quality training. But like most things Horton and his groupies on the Board are involved with, it’s done with little care or thought, it’s done with self-promotion at the forefront, and it’s done especially if your buds can make money from it. How politician-like of him. He should run for office.
