What is going on at Lake Zurich High School? There's an issue with students manipulating classmate's photos using AI sites. We're not so much focused on the students in our editorial but on the problem faced by principals and school districts working from outdated rule books.
The editorial board today also looks at Battle Creek, Michigan, once known as Cereal City. But now that Kellogg has split itself in two and moved some operations to Chicago, what does that mean for the small industrial city that's a barometer for many similar places across the Midwest?
We heralded good news for Michigan Avenue on Sunday, with two major new coming attractions in the entertainment sector: "The Hand and the Eye," an upscale magic-themed theater, dining destination and members club and the Candy Hall of Fame, a new mega-attraction dedicated to Chicago's foundational role in the sweets and chocolate industries. See below for what we think this will do for the Magnificent Mile.
You surely have heard by now about the debacle involving the Chicago Teachers Union's desire to get kids out of school May 1. We think the board of the Chicago Public School should stand firm against that but if there is any question, there should be an on-the-record vote so Chicagoans can know where individual board members stand, helpful information come election time. Along with the board's view, you can also read what Jennifer Custer, an elected school board member, has to say.
Our opinion section has a lot more great reads including Storer Rowley on an inspiring trip to the moon (and back) and you can also read the latest installments in our Chicago 2050 package of articles imagining our city's future.
We even have a poem for you to read. That's a rarity. We don't normally accept them. But then this one is pretty special.
Have a great spring Monday and thanks for all your letters.
Battle Creek would be in big trouble had it depended only on Kellogg as its economic engine. Instead, over the years, the city’s economic development brain trust got creative.

Gaza is facing a full-blown humanitarian catastrophe. The nine-day battle between Hamas militants and the Israeli military has damaged 17 hospitals and clinics. Destroyed sewage systems sent fetid wastewater through the streets. A desalination plant providing water to 250,000 people is offline. The only laboratory in Gaza that processes coronavirus tests was damaged by an Israeli airstrike. The Times created a day-by-day reconstruction of the violence with maps, death tolls and satellite images. There are subtle signs that Israel and Hamas may be edging toward a cease-fire, with Egypt and the U.N. working to "restore calm, " according to a person involved in the talks.

Long school closures have put public education — and Randi Weingarten, the leader of a major teachers' union — on the defensive. Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers. Pat Nabong/Chicago Sun-Times, via Associated Press The long shadow of school closures During the early months of the Covid pandemic, Randi Weingarten and the teachers' union she leads faced a vexing question: When should schools reopen? For years, advocates of public education like Weingarten had argued that schools played an irreplaceable role. School was where children learned academic and social skills. It was where low-income children received subsidized meals. Without public schools, their defenders argued, society would come apart.
