If only teachers had the same luxury of leaving their jobs to pursue another when a change in administration is about to take place. But they don't. In fact, teachers who are laid off have to resubmit all their records and do a second background check even if they have served the students of CPS for 17 years and have only had a gap in service for two days. This is a fact. When said teacher asked Human Resources why they had to go through all this again when they were only out of the system for two days, the callous response was "Because we don't know what you could have done in two days." Nice.
Furthermore, teachers cannot leave their position for a position at another school without an approved transfer from their current boss. Teachers who leave in the middle of the year are often fleeing abusive or inept principals. The likelihood of such a principal signing a transfer is next to nil.
Perhaps Mr. Huberman would like to try out teaching? Oh. Wait. That's right, he is not qualified to teach in the classroom. This is not a reflection on Mr. Huberman, but the ridiculous policies governing, or as I like to say, impeding, education. Huberman should be allowed to teach in the classroom. He has valuable worldly and business experience that could benefit many students. But the State of Illinois won't let him. Silly.
