Two kids. A cryptic letter. One unforgettable puzzle.

I know CPS has to shake a reputation that is 30 years old and holding strong. So I get the desire for great headlines + narrative control.

The problem is there are facts, headlines, and what actual parents, students and teachers think.

Focus on students» families» communities.

@MidwestMom7 @colbertlateshow @ChicagosMayor You must not live in Chicago. His focus should be on the failed public school system and the 2-3 murders every day.
