This whole fiasco that has taken place with regard to many CPS 'welcoming' schools not being the school of choice for parents of students whose school(s) were closed last spring ought to teach the mayor and CPS brass a number of lessons. Whether the lesson(s) were learned or not will have to wait for another day.
One of the more subtle points of this whole episode ought to revolve around one critical issue. It should be understood that every CPS school should be a 'welcoming' place to learn. To simply label some schools as welcoming while providing them with needed resources while ignoring the needs of other schools not labeled as welcoming is simply wrong.
Every school should have been availed the ipads, a/c and building improvements that the so called 'welcoming' schools received. By the way, maybe it would be best, going forward, to forget the whole labeling thing. It almost always creates blowback.
