YES! RE: We'all care about education.

The NYC mayor’s honeymoon speech, a classic ‘tough as nuts New Yorker’ blurb in the world's biggest financial industry city accompanied by lots of bootstrap soundings.

VS.

The not-on-honeymoon Chicago mayor’s statement outlining nonsensical issues with no basis of reality trying to emulate a similar conclusive dialogue. Understanding true meaning was difficult.

But wait there’s more:

In our mid-sized midwestern city school superintendents series of press releases later in the week which terminated in a late-week statement that Monday it will effectively be ‘business as usual’, which sounded a bit like a dump and run before the weekend.

Never mind this would mean a return to in-school attendance at institutions missing a huge chunk of staffing and services amounting to nothing better than remote learning depending on anyone’s POV during the pandemic. I mean those that will definitely show up to teach class may be enduring the not-so-good look of adjunct educators living in their cars at below zero temps, well, yes of course they will show if they want to live!

All that matters is that final press release ‘going-back-to-business-as-usual’, which all 3 public servants above were aiming at.

If anyone wishes to get into these electable ‘public service’ jobs they had better be highly skilled at delivering media releases in front of a hugely critical audience, and I mean critically armed audiences because the job is really all about being a great Kabuki theater actor, performing at the behest of local media.
