working parents need a place for their kids to go everyday so that they can get their shit done.
in chicago, even after february 2021, CPS only went to a hybrid model for the remained of the school year (2 days in school, 3 days remote) because the teachers union was STILL balking about going back into the classroom, even after they could all get vaxxed.
the union started playing their usual political games with the crisis, to the detriment of everyone except themselves.

well the teachers union is by far the most powerful out here in nyc and they went for reopening, although i understand at that point some teachers and students could opt for remote until the end of the last school year. but they did go back to reopening and daily in person school last march, immediately a month after the vaxx was widely available. this was big news at the time of course.
a lot of other school districts around the country were open in the fall, 2020. reckless! but yeah, staying remote after the vax was available is wrong too.
