Q&A of the Day – Teacher Benefits vs. Private Sector Benefits

As I stated yesterday, a debate can still be had about what appropriate levels of compensation should be for teachers and whether the CTA demanded raise of 4.8% or the PBC School District offered raise of 1.5% is most appropriate, however first the facts should be established which is not something I’ve not seen occur with any news reporting other than what I’ve covered over the years. This has often placed me in the crosshairs of teachers – which isn’t inherently my intention to do. As always there are two sides to stories and one side to facts. These are facts and the basis for any honest conversation regarding this topic.
