"So it’s time. Past time, really. CPS must begin the process of rightsizing a school district built to serve at least a third more students than it currently does. ... With a mayor who talks repeatedly of his 2016 hunger strike to reopen Dyett High School on the South Side and a Chicago Teachers Union that considers Rahm Emanuel’s closures to be an act of pure evil, CPS and too many state and local policymakers have become paralyzed."
CPS needs to behave financially responsibly and close underutilized schools and lay of staff. They need to invest in students and education instead of CTU. It’s time CPS stands up to CTU and does what’s right for students. CPS could also lay off teachers who have students with poor test scores.

We would need grown ups in the room to make this happen…from top to bottom CPS and CTU are corrupt, so expecting them to do this themselves and internally…not gunna happen. The change is going to have to come from an external source. Then the activism will start with protests and marches and and and…endless, pointless BS.

A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
