The Have's and Have Nots

I have a fairly simple question I would like to pose for the CPS brass. The question goes like this..."Why is it that 'receiving' or 'welcoming' schools got ipads and air conditioning while those non welcoming schools (is that what they are?) were largely ignored?"

No, this is not a rhetorical question nor is it one asked in jest. It's a serious question - which deserves a serious and thoughtful answer - because there are thousands upon thousands of students and their families who despite giving their best are left out in the cold simply because they weren't a welcoming school.

How tragic!! If it is hot, humid and sweaty in the classroom, ALL students and staff deserve the same treatment. To reward a school with ipads and a/c simply because it is welcoming students from a school that was shuttered while denying a school the same resources is wrong on many counts. Talk about bad policy, poor politics and lousy PR!

Like the expression goes, there are have's and have not's in the world.
