Ron Huberman, the chief executive of Chicago’s public schools, is looking to hire a “Culture of Calm” coordinator to improve conditions in schools deemed most at risk for student violence.
The coordinator would work closely with principals on resolving conflicts, providing better emotional support for students, and improving discipline and attendance. The job could pay up to $90,000.
School officials believe that a calmer atmosphere in the school can reduce violence. “We’re trying to make sure there’s a calm effect that permeates,” said Monique Bond, a schools spokeswoman.
you have go to be kidding. The CPS is supposedly without a budget, yet they can afford to dish out $100,000 to some quack.
Why don’t they spend the cash on adding more teachers who can help follow the children’s develpment. This could help alleviate the violence. If children feel ignored they’re bound to go to extremes to get attention.
Maybe they should hire an oridnary citizen, like me. I seem to make more sense than their nonsense!
