Sue the surgery center for having a doctor who was not authorized to practice anesthesiology put her to sleep.

Donors Choose is another great place for you to share the burden that school staff are currently shouldering to keep schools safe and educational.

Yes, in-person school is better! “Online classes only set them back” =/= In-person school without soap, hand sanitizer, cleaning materials or masks is safe. I would challenge you to find somewhere that the CDC said that school is safe absent the most basic safety measures. Again, if you would like to help me provide…

Right but if we don’t have masks for kids, soap, hand sanitizer, cleaning products or tests unless teachers pay for them, do you really think in-person is safe? 

You’re right, you know more about conditions in CPS schools than people who are actually in them all day everyday. If you think that kids deserve masks, soap in the bathrooms, hand sanitizer in classrooms, and cleaning products to be used by custodial staff, send me your Venmo or Cash App and I’ll request funds. I…

I mean CTU proposed solutions to these obstacles: masks, tests, adequate staffing, contact tracing, and a plan for switching to remote when that is necessary. The students suffered due to CPS’s inability/unwillingness to provide these most basic safety measures. 

I haven’t seen any mayor do that except her. I look to someone’s actual policies when analyzing their politics.

Very Democratic mayor? Lori? 

They are being kept out of school because the mayor is cancelling school. That’s on her.

Wishing happiness and health to your family! I see my colleagues go above and beyond every single day. We just want our students to be safe. (And don’t worry, we still make sure all of our babies have Christmas presents under the tree :)).

Yes, we have moved the goal posts DOWN because of the vaccine. Our demands are LESS than what they were earlier in the pandemic. Is it really that unreasonable to be provided masks and tests? To have a plan if we have 500 kids show up to school and only 10 teachers because the rest are out sick? None of those people…

The first ask was to improve contact tracing, have metrics for school or district shift to remote if the number of cases gets out of control or there aren’t enough staff to run a particular school, have adequate PPE, and have increased access to testing.

Rampant shootings at 63rd and Stony? I don’ t think so 

We have business corridors in the neighborhood and schools (like the one where Obama ripped out the athletic fields to build his stuff). The neighborhood is already higher in population and lower in vacancies than the other proposed site, Washington Park. So why wasn’t that chosen? No one is saying no new development…

They told us they will be reduced price for locals but not in perpetuity.

Do you live in the neighborhood? Cuz we don’t think it’s going to be a boon to us. It’s going to push us out and increase traffic like crazy. It already takes me 10 minutes just to pull out of my parking lot to go to work since the construction started.

Washington Park would have solved most of the concerns. No one is saying don’t add assets to the south side just don’t do it in such a way that it steals assets that are already there and pushes people out.

And some people don’t like selling public park land to private ventures, being priced out of their homes, and having the traffic in front of their street increase by 400% (yes, that is the figure that was provided to us).

In the past decades, Hyde Park has changed tremendously. There has been a hard line that stopped development at 61st but since the OPC has been announced, Woodlawn has been getting tons of 750K single family homes. The speculation about the impact is causing a huge increase in housing prices and the gentrification is…

Get a wing dinner with mild sauce. No one gets sides (comes with fries and a nasty coleslaw you throw away immediately).
