This should change the dynamics of public education as we know it . Many if not all K-12 private schools have learn at home protocols. High speed internet is needed for everyone. Khan Academy- Scholastic.org- TedEd and a few others have learn at home and at schools programs for those who implement them. Problem is that for many public schools are just highly compensated baby sitters for their kids. Who will teach the parents (many of whom are single mothers) on how to teach?

Think how much money CPS can save by using remote learning. No need for bloated administrative staffs, no need to pay huge heating, cooling and light bills, no need for school security officers and they could pare back the number of teachers. So many paradigms are being shattered with the virus, and if we come out of this OK things will never get back to the way they were before. If a restaurant is carry out only, they could reduce their footprint and have a kitchen no bigger than a food truck as an example.
Ted was on AM 560's The Morning Answer this week talking about how Illinois can save more lives by giving the elderly the COVID vaccine before any other group, the inconsistency of Illinois' destructive lockdown rules, and how Illinois' leadership doesn't appear to have any real plan to bring the COVID crisis to an end.
Ted was on Black and Right with John Anthony this week talking about the how the Biden stimulus will ultimate force taxpayers in well-run states to pay for Illinois' self-inflicted crises, how Madigan's departure might hasten Illinois' decline because big-spending politicians have more power, and lawmakers' failure to pass Pritzker's $500 million tax hike on businesses.
Now that vaccines are finally available, Pritzker is including a host of “essential workers,” at the same level of priority as the elderly and calling it an “equity-centric vaccination approach.” It’s a huge mistake to give all those groups equal priority.
