Graft machines now fighting each other, Another democrat fxxx up, the democrat Chicago teachers union strike.When the Chicago policemen wanted more safety Mayor lightheaded, fired them yet the Chicago teachers "both receives and gets tons of money" from the democrats, why are they not fired? Their contract does not allow strikes, Yet again, Mayor lightheaded does nothing. When are the tax payors, people of Chicago going to step forward, and take back control of their city from democrats, who allow murder, crimes, riots, reduce police safety, and now the teachers union to run all over the tax payor who pays their salary. Say it again just another Democrat fxxx up. Democrats can't govern, are you not tired of being told to go fxxx yourself from the democrats???
Meanwhile in my country: hey let's open up school and increase the time of staying and let's add more students to classes, what's worse could happened?
I swear man.. these people is underestimating the virus too much
…because the death rate for children is so close to 0, that you would have to measure the differential by the micron…
School vouchers now!!
There are people that are attending school and they are sick. It is getting worse.
The amount of money the schools get per each child weekly is the equivalent of the cost of private school per month.
Defend yourself from this ratio
You never even mention the perspective of Teachers….. 🤣🤣🤣 ah ignorance!
It’s not enough teachers get more than a third of the year off and it’s almost impossible to fire them, not they want to get paid for not showing up at all, and they know they will get what they want because their unions bought off most Democrats.
Can’t take anyone seriously when they’re screaming “get back in school!†while doing an interview from the comfort of their living room. 🙄🙄🙄
You all keep saying you want the high schoolers to be prepared for college life, well this "virtual schooling" has been part of it for years as well as the stress it causes.😅
Have none of you ever listened to college student rants about their math class or science class being a hybrid class or the class suddenly got shifted to full online? They've been ranting about it for years, how online science and math classes are way too difficult to do online unless you already know what you're doing. This isn't new.😅 Great job paying attention everyone.
When all the schools started going virtual and the High School kids began complaining about their maths and sciences and the stress and all their assignments and what they don't understand, the college students and all those who graduated having this experience already were all a bit flabbergasted going, "welcome to college.✊If you plan on attending, this is the norm."
Better to learn to be a bit self-driven in a free to attend High School than try to figure it out at college where money and time is on the line.
Note: Being self-driven and motivated does not mean doing everything on your own. It means having the foresight and intelligence to seek out free tutoring on subjects you struggle with. Taking advantage of free online scholarly videos and websites that show you step-by-step processes if that's all you have at your disposal.
Why is everyone obsessed with attending physical "brick and mortar" educational institutions when learning can actually take place anywhere. You don't need a building to learn.
The only children I believe need to attend physical "brick and mortar" educational institutions are those children attending special education with an individualized education program. They already struggle and in some cases are behind and don't do well with schedule interruptions which cause serious learning setbacks and emotional distress.
Other than that you don't need to fulfill some randomly determined "seat time" number to say you've been educated.
Everyone against online learning and homeschooling keeps quoting "studies say self study doesn't work" . Yet it has and for many who test well and lead successful lives.
Parents do have the intelligence to educate their own offspring to a certain point and also teach their children to be self motivated. The only subjects that might need outside education are higher level Sciences including Maths.
Is it not sad that we live in a society where monetary needs make it impossible for children to remain with their parents and receive an education?
The majority of people have kids and keep them (if the kids are lucky) for 4 to 5 years and then from that time on send them off somewhere else for 8 hours a day the rest of their lives and that's supposed to be normal.
And all these kids getting on the news complaining "we need to go to school" 🤣 You know that translates to "we want to hang with our friends".
If the masks and vaccines work, why are the acting like they don't?
DISLIKE
Why don't you do some real investigative reporting and talk about why this is happening the power of the unions the destruction and the impact it has on our children this is all political this has nothing to do with covid but nobody talks about it's about it this is why your ratings are down
This idiot here, wanting more child vaccinations while also stating that vaccinations do not stop the spread of the virus. SMH
America is land of freedom, opportunity. There are still very intelligent, wise people residing in the confusion. Chicago is in need of creative thinkers, perhaps as citizens we need to use our voice, minds, ideas and find ways to "teach" safely outside of these controls. I am willing. There are spaces, teachers and students.
Leave it to Larry Lightfoot to double down on bad decisions.

fyi, my child has been attending school this whole time. w/o any outbreaks, or anything at the school. ummm wonder why it only affects certain schools.
Poor Chicago children are going to have a tough future with these people in charge.

CLOSE DOWN THE SCHOOLS AND GO TO REMOTE LEARNING, CONTINUE TO PAY THE TEACHERS AND GIVE THEM MORE MONEY TO DO REMOTE TEACHING. UNTIL COVID, OMICRON, DISEASES ARE OVER. SENDING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL JUST TO SEND THEM HOME DAYS LATER. THEY ARE SAFER IN THEIR OWN HOME. THE FIRST SHOT/VACCINES SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENT. PEOPLE ARE STILL GETTING COVID AFTER BEING FULLY VACCINATED. THIS IS NOT RIGHT !. TURN THE SCHOOLS INTO PRISONS AND GET THE THUGS OFF OF THE STREETS. HOMELESS SHELTERS, CLEAN THE STREETS UP AND MAKE CHICAGO SAFE AGAIN. PEOPLE WANT TO VISIT AND SPEND THEIR MONEY IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT. DON'T KEEP HIRING MORE POLICE, ONLY TO LOSE THEIR LIVES. THEY WANT TO PROTECT AND SERVE, BUT, GET KNOCKED DOWN AND OUT, TRYING TO DO THEIR JOBS. STOP PAYING OUT LUDICROUS LAW SUITS, SO THE CITY CAN PAY WHAT THEY OWE INSTEAD OF TAKING IT FROM TAX PAYERS. THINGS HAVE TO CHANGE INCLUDING POLITICIANS.
Testing shows that online learning isn’t a good fit for most kids. I’ve seen it in my own kids kids one IEP aren’t getting time allotment min. Met which means kids who already struggle are going to struggle more.
Just require kids to be vaccinated to go to school like for other diseases. If the parents do not want vaccines, they can stay home with their delinquents…. I mean kids.
Just wear a mail-in ballot on your face,
because that's what this is really about!
WOW, WATCH PASTORS PERSPECTIVE FEBRUARY 23, 2021 YOU WILL SMILE 😄💕

Cowardly and selfish teachers who voted for this.

Does anyone know how Chicago is handling special education students all this time? How are they getting their individual free appropriate public education?
