School Closings Offer Opportunities for Students to Learn a Trade
Commentary by Representative Jack Kimble (R-CA, 54)
Unfortunately, it's very easy for parents to get angry over school closings. After all, neighborhood schools can be sanctuaries in a neighborhood of boarded up and abandoned buildings and the school community can be a family for children whose own parents are unable to provide them with the stability every child deserves. This is a nationwide problem, but because Last Stand for Children First is so active in Chicago, I probably understand that situation a little better.
The problem in Chicago is that 30,000 students have left the system so it is necessary to close over 100
