Chicago Public Schools Reopen Despite Pushback From Teachers | NBC News NOW

wow, see the results of your fear mongering

One week later
"Why are people getting sick?"

Are the kidding, they are putting the children, teachers, parents in danger

Gee I wonder where he bought all those clothes? Walmart where people work every day. Get back to work, teachers!

Many schools in my area have been open the whole time.

So keep social distancing and give them their vac. Why should they get to stay home while everyone else has to go to work? Ive been working entirely through the pandemic along with tons of others. Why cant they do both online and in class. The kids that want to go to school let them . Record a live video for those who wish to stay home. Kids gotta socialize.

half of the school year is already over. why not finish up the other half remote, so that children and teachers are safe for little longer? Now, incompetent people may not agree with me.

Thank god teachers like these insist on safety first! Education doesn't work well if your student body has devolved to just bodies.

FIRE EVERY SINGLE TEACHER NOW!!!!

I could keep my daughter home all day, distance learning, she's disciplined and she knows what she needs to get done. She's been exposed to some very scary viruses/bugs over the years and has missed weeks of school, but when she's home she stays healthy.

But but the left said they’d reopen schools! Nope! Florida Texas Schools been open all YEAR and kids played music and sports and loved life. So SAD for these blue areas kids

These kids if kept out, will miss major developmental skills that might make our kids never grow up be adults and responsible. We litterally don't know the cost, but there always been a topic how summer vacation is too long and those effects. What about that?

My kids school was open all year. One covid case found since the new year and that was contracted outside of the school.

I feel for the city of Chicago and many other cities out there I know you need some place to put these children I know they need to continue their education but if it’s not safe to do so you simply can’t do it. There comes a point when you have to tell the state of Illinois we can’t do this so we won’t. There comes a point when you have to tell parents we can’t subject teachers to this so we won’t. How can you honestly I ask a teacher to come back to work during a pandemic. When that pandemic is in the middle of a surge. This is an a decline in cases this is not a time when we have flatten the curve which we never have done. This is an a time when we can even say the percentage of people who are contracting the virus is that a low level. Everything is wrong in this case but you still want teachers to come and teach that’s crazy that’s asking too much of someone.

Weird thing the local high school sports teams are all playing...

Teachers should not be getting full pay when parents do majority of the work.

Chicago teachers are so entitled. They're some of the highest paid in the nation yet are always asking for more, more, more. What's the point of paying taxes if you don't get your money's worth? Kids need to be in school. This is costing alot of money to parents who can't afford to keep paying people to watch their kids since young kids can't be kept at home. On top of that, kids need to socialize. This will mess up their development smh

As a teacher I am.so sorry to the staff.

Do these teachers not realize the impact that online schooling has on these kids? Or do they just not care. Do what you get paid for like everyone else in the country

FIRE THESE TEACHERS! They are abusing Chicago’s kids! This is awful!

All of a sudden were opening schools. Screw that.

Hope the teachers win on this. Kids might need school, but teachers need their lives. If we keep losing teachers and medical workers who will be around in the future to teach and or care for these communities.

No wonder why the CPS is failing .. Maybe interview people who don’t listen to CNN

lets go

Does this mean that all of the online education that has been happening around the world for years is invalid? Many prefer online education.

Go back to work

USA🙏✊

teaching union...yuck pushing racial bs

I don't understand why now, they (children and faculty) need to be back in a formal school setting after 0% improvement in Covid cases?

Why do these Chicago teachers think they are so special? Do they want to remotely teach from Puerto Rico like their union leader? Get your butts back into the classroom. Distance learning has put so many kids behind in their studies.

Teachers are essential workers!

Forcing teachers back to school shame on y'all.

👀👀

I wish Bernie Sanders was VP elect or president

Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
“But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted".
Matthew 23 NIV
You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
"If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land."
And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
This, then, is how you should pray:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

These are the teachings,
The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God.
REPENT, and start doing what is right.
If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples; then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
A time is coming and has now come, that the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and Truth. God is Spirit, so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and Truth; they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
In the New Heaven and New Earth,
only Righteousness dwells.
May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.

Tax fraud is nonessential. So why are we paying these glorified babysitters.

December may be the deadliest month in rona death tolls, but January will be the deadliest month for the superintendent KPI if school stay close, so get!!

And this is why there are new variants of this virus!

Wtf is school opening during a pandemic?

Making these teachers risk their lives is unconscionable! Teaching is already a very stressful, relatively low-paying profession. Have a ❤️.

Lori Lightfoot has been a hardass with regard to virus up to now. She is sacrificing the lives of teachers and staff now.

Isaiah 5:20.
Woe unto them that
call evil good, and good evil; that
put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that
put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Just stop the teachers pay roll then let’s see if they wanna work again or not

Close schools not a good idea during a pandemic to open till we get it handled sorry
