VIDEO: Chicago Teachers Union President Recommends Lying to Parents!
Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis made an eyebrow-raising recommendation at an education conference that took place earlier this week, doling out “tips” that she said really work. One of the suggestions? Lie to parents.
“I used to love parent conferences, because I would just lie to the parents. [I would say of their child], ‘he’s wonderful!’ And the parents would look at me like, are you talking about my kid? And the kid would sit there like, when is she gonna blow the whistle on me? Now, I have a hostage!”
Watch her remarks:

Watch her remarks:
This is really an attempt to disengage the parents and reduce the teacher's work load. The parents know the kid and if he/she is doing homework or studying. Instead of encouraging parental involvement this discourages it. What a fool.
