we tried, but the 2 catholic schools near us didn't have any kindergarten slots open. once CPS announced it was gonna remain 100% remote for the start of the 20/21 school year, the catholic schools around us ran out of room pronto. we didn't act fast enough.

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 remainder 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 stupid political games with the crisis, to the detriment of everyone involved except themselves.
