“Loneliness, Anxiety and Loss: the Covid Pandemic’s Terrible Toll on Kids”

This should be required reading for the Chicago Teachers Union

But you know that they won’t read it. Because for all their declarations about how they “care about the kids,” it all comes in behind their own self interest.

As the Wall Street Journal reports:

Rarely have America’s children suffered so many blows, and all at once, as during the pandemic’s lost year.

Rarely have America’s children suffered so many blows, and all at once, as during the pandemic’s lost year.

The crisis has hit children on multiple fronts. Many have experienced social isolation during lockdowns, family stress, a breakdown of routine and anxiety about the virus. School closures, remote teaching and learning interruptions have set back many at school. Some parents have had job and income losses, creating financial instability—and exacerbating parental stress. Thousands of children have lost a parent or grandparent to the disease.

And much, much more.

Yet, the Chicago Teachers Union continues to find fake reasons for “delaying” the re-opening of Chicago public schools.

Once again, the CTU makes the case that they should be disenfranchised.
