Heard this on the radio, so I can not vouch for accuracy. Chicago has 35k teachers and 350k students. By simple arithmetic, that’s 10 students per teacher.
I doubt that Chicago classrooms look like that. Suppose there are 20 students per teacher. That would require 17.5k teachers.
So, what are the extra 17.5k teachers who are not teaching actually doing?

There are a lot more than 20 students per class. Some of the teachers are special ed teachers, ESL teachers, etc., who don't have a single full-time classroom.
