Chicago mom amid school closures: 'I'm not doing well'

A Chicago mother and journalist voiced her frustrations with unexpected school closures in a video posted to Facebook on Wednesday.

"We've made headlines again because Chicago Public Schools are closed today. How are you all doing about this? 'Cause I'm not doing well," journalist and mother Ana Belaval said in a Thursday video.

Belaval, who sat next to two of her children on the couch while she recorded, said that she is "not picking sides" but expressed frustration that her kids are back home after being in school for two days following winter break.

"This is what I wanted to do on my last day of vacation at home," she said. "I go back to work tomorrow. I didn't want to be having conversations with [my son]. I wanted him to be learning. And there is the possibility that they can learn remotely again, which was fabulous last year and rendered us…an interesting situation on third grade."
