A statewide concern: Illinois’ population decline outpaces neighboring states – Wirepoints on ABC20 Champaign
“We are not in good shape” Wirepoints’ Ted Dabrowski told ABC 20 Champaign during a segment on Illinois’ latest population losses. Illinois was one of just three states to shrink in the 2010-2020 period and has lost another 300,000 people since then. Ted says things need to change. “It’s too expensive to live here, there aren’t enough good jobs and nobody trusts the government anymore. There’s just other places to go where you can be more satisfied.”
Teachers are getting makeup days off because they are in charge and can give themselves any benefit they want
There’s little accounting on days off when my wife was a teacher she called friends to sub, the day off was totally off the time sheet books.
Saw this coming a mile away. Teachers begged for make-up days. We all knew the quality of teaching on those make-up days would not be worth the cost, even if they did show up. Yet Lightfoot succumbed anyway.
Who’s gonna be the first person to FOIA the CPS teacher attendance numbers for the 1st day after the strike? It was a Friday.
