Despite this criticism, Pritzker has said he will sign the plan. He said that everyone wanted to go home and get some rest. The plan includes many different things, but it does not help underperforming schools as much as some Americans would like. Pritzker didn’t like the original plan because it didn’t have enough help from the federal government.
