im a fan of pop(ular) music, and would not deny the old accusation that pop music is a fetishization of music proper - but music is meaningless, maybe to be made a fetish is even it's highest achievement - the trance that is the tunnel to righteous murder is definitely musical.

but you people fetishize print media in a truly perverted way. normal people don't give a fuck about this kind of nonsense. get a life, get laid, go jump in a lake.

Emanuel’s pride and joy is the new mandate that he and his schools chief, Jean-Claude Brizard, pushed through for next year to have the school day for Chicago’s 400,000 students extended by 90 minutes and the school year by about a week. The teachers’ union leadership has accepted that this will happen but wants more say on how to use the time — and more money. Parents are thrilled, but it will clearly require more talks with the union.

“We want to be a city where businesses want to come and are created and where parents want to raise their children,” says the mayor, sitting in his office. “You cannot get there on the shortest school day of any big city.”

In 2003, the mayor added, “Chicago teachers got a double-digit pay raise and a shortened school week. The result was that politicians did not get a teachers’ strike and teachers did get better pay. But can anyone tell me what the kids got? We are going to design a system where the kids get something.” Emanuel has also created a privately funded bonus pool for principals whose schools make exceptional progress.

It’s all part of one fabric, says the mayor: the better the schools and the safer the streets, the more people will flock to the city and the more businesses will want to locate here and create new jobs. But there is a long way to go.

which is actually entirely consistent with "shareholder value" ideology. the principals are little CEOs!

in reality theyre trying to make the city look better by pushing poors out to the south/west suburbs so that the City Numbers can look even better in comparison to the 90s. things are improving, poverty and bad schools are pushed to other geographical locations!

no, the only reason he brings up the Parents is so that the unions can be between them and the Children, similar to the way they're always getting between the Producers and the Consumers
