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.”
How childish, teachers went on the sidewalk to teach their online class. They want to manipulate and expect pity for having to go back to work. A childish passive aggressive and obvious ploy, theater art.

Bust this union.
Better yet, legally dissolve Chicago Public Schools, nullify all contractual obligations and pensions and then reconstitute CPS as a non-union system. This is all legally viable. I think that Wirepoints had articles regarding this option a few years ago.
Better yet dissolve public schools in Illinois period.
The schools are just fine. It’s the teachers and administrators in the schools that need to go.
