A mess of uncertainty and litigation is sure to follow.
With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too
We must think of the children and special needs children.
This is solid proof the teacher’s unions are not working for the children. No one in their right mind thinks staying out of school is good for children, and more children die of the flu each year than have died of covid.
The two week quarantine for teachers if a staff member or student has tests positive also requires Special paid sick leave provided by the employer. This is probably above the normal sick days.
I think that’s what the head of CPS said. Teachers can accumulate 2 years worth of sick days but we can’t let them use sick days for when they’re sick.
Private schools are reopening. Apparently they are smarter and more capable than the Teachers union. Perhaps the militant teachers union members shouldn’t be paid for sitting on their backsides and acting like entitled pikers?
Too bad this lazy idiot isn’t worried about the important metrics like graduation rates and percentage of graduates that can read and do math at a high school level.
Cool I’m all for it no reopening of schools all e learning, now start shutting down schools keep only a few for on hand for hands on learning, shop class etc lay off teachers a lot of them, lay off administrators, assistants, assistants to the assistants, custodians, etc etc etc. e learning will soon be the new wave private companies will be lining up. About time taxpayers get a break you all are putting a nail in your coffins.
Not only that but a lot of parents who demand assorted special privileges for their special children will now have to personally provide the services and not the taxpayers.
