There have been a lot of opinions shared about us, CPS and City Hall leading up to and during the strike. But the one thing that everyone seems to agree on is how absolutely atrocious CPS' new grading system Aspen is.
Some thoughts from the rank-and-file...

"Nope/ no it’s not."
"It took 2.5 hours today to click 3 buttons for each of my classes. I will refuse to do this next quarter. This is unacceptable."
"And I don’t mean this is how long it take to input grades. My grades were input two days ago. This is how long it take to just post them to the report card."
"I need therapy to deal with this!"
Anyone else stuck on this screen?!? 😤😤

(NOTE: There are thousands of people stuck on that screen.)
“The struggle”
"Character building day for sure"
"It has taken 6 hours to post 2 classes. 27 more to go. I should be done by Thanksgiving."
Q: "Anyone else DISLIKE Aspen?! It took me 45 minutes to enter grades for 1 subject. Didn’t finish it because I still need to add the language and comments... its for kindergarten so it’s also required for each subject" 😑

A: "Dislike is so inadequate to describe my hatred"
"I may actually dislike it more than I dislike everyday math. That’s pretty impressive."

"I wasted nearly an hour of my life that I'll never get back. I had to post the rest from home."

"Hate is not a strong enough word for Aspen."

"aaaaaaaaaaarrrrghhh"
“So now Aspen cut off is midnight - cuz that’s what we all want to be doing right now.”
“I would have stayed out another week.. in a blizzard.. butt naked.. with no food if that meant we wouldn’t have Aspen!!!”

“Who created this ungodly tool”
