oh stop already. this is ridiculous.the teachers just dont want to have to go to work they got used to staying home at the expense of everyone else.

[elroythegreat]

Keep kids home.
Let criminals free.
Open boarders.
Make the millions of dollars from the "rescue America" bill disappear.

Good God, I can’t believe the stupidity. I’m so glad we left Chicago.

[ToddWyattRebelSon]

Like those kids were learning anything anyway.

All that govt funding for schools should go to parents who had to phone in work that had to watch their kids or pay for day care.

Chicago never ceases to disturb the rest of us with their leaders' poor decision making.

In my opinion. If there’s teachers that want to work at school and there are parents that want to send their kids, then put them together at a school. If a teacher wants to do remote and there are parents that want their kids to be remote, then put them together and let them be remote. Not that hard to solve the problem.

If you don’t see what they are doing you aren’t paying attention.

For the most part, teachers no longer give a living $h!t about the students.

[dustincaso]

Glad to see they spent the billions of tax payer money they received to keep the schools open wisely.

[davidgrover]

On the up side the students will have less exposure to these cowardly incompetents with teaching credentials.

[CoraFaye]

A sneeze and possible sore throat closes schools. Teachers unions need to be dissolved. Home school your kids.

"Teachers' unions wanting staycation close Chicago public schools."

FTFY

[florider]

Chicago should ban guns too... Oh wait

[jeffgraber]

Give the taxpayers and parents a refund

[susanthomas]

We need school choice. The public schools are irreparably broken in many ways.

[djy]

Disgraceful.... American citizens need to start their own school district. Bypass the government entirely.
