In my humble opinion, it has more to do with placating the teacher's union than it does in helping the handful of children involved.

Teachers union is more of a political organization looking out for their members than for the children they are suppose to help get an education

She actually said. “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”

My favorite quote of hers was, "I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end."

Other than I didnt give credit to a woman I was pretty close to what she said and do agree with her on socialism.

Did you actually read the article? These kids will be spread all over the city with limited groups of 15. They will use libraries, museums and any available spaces they can find to utilize. There are other interesting details too. Sounds like a brilliant way to get parents back to work and keep city workers busy. Lessens unemployment for many. Helping others and thinking outside of the box does not have to be a negative.

How is this different from kids in school with teachers you ask?

They are calling them "learning labs" so that's different.

It must be based on "science and medical experts"
