Actually, they don’t even need to live with two parents. Even with unmarried or divorced parents, they’re all working???? Really? There’s nobody to watch the child? Of course, they can’t afford day care, but there’s no problem with the multiple cell phones and acrylic nails. Right. It’s just the media, once again, playing its hand.
This strike is all for political theater. I believe what some others are saying, Obama will claim to have “saved” the day in a few weeks.
Stay focused, everyone.
You are correct about the Chicago teacher strike. Obama will “become involved” in the negotiations and save the day for thousands of children and parents. As a side benefit, Rahm will look good because he could use his connections in DC to “the one” who will be the savior and peacemaker of the Chicago public school crisis.
The Teachers Union will benefit as well by appearing to bend and accept a little less because it is after all “for the children.”
