Saw this on Reddit. We obviously need day care for the people who work. We know this.

It's just amazing to me that they still pay these teachers in the CPS. The students have piss poor performance and that was while they were still in class. Their main job then was to babysit. Now they aren't even doing that.

The CPS is a money hole. My relatives in Illinois have always thought so, but now that the media is saying this is normal, they now just bury their heads in the sand.

The state of Illinois is in budget free-fall. If Trump is reelected, their state won't be able to pay their bills because they won't get a bailout. Same with NY and California.

The people who care about politics in Illinois have resigned to being stuck in a neo-liberal agenda. It's now just about trying to avoid becoming a progressive shit hole like Chicago. In 6 months, Chicago has gone from being safe north of the Loop to being "Gotham".

Even the residents of Chicago know that they are cooking the books in the Census and the election. With Kim Fox as AG, they don't even hide the crime anymore. If you say anything, you will become a target, and people will come out of the woodwork to harass you and they will be getting paid well to do so.

You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear... years of fictional tv and movies notwithstanding...

Spending a million dollars a student won't help the majority of those kids....
