I look at all of these happenings as threads. Public education is one that I keep an eye on. I’ve been in the car the past couple of days and listened to a couple of talk shows and heard what a big deal this thread is becoming suddenly.
Lori Lightfoot is mad at the teachers?!!! A mayor not in lock step with the Teacher’s Union?

CPS strikes just about every single year, claiming they’re trying to get resources for the kids. Yet, every time they strike they also demand a pay raise, increased healthcare benefits, and ridiculous amounts of PTO. If it were really “for the kids,” then they would remove those demands from the table so that they could strike a deal sooner than 2 weeks later, but they never budge at all.
