Chicago has a $9.9 billion budget. Its teachers’ unions, who control the city and have one of their own in the mayor’s office, get everything from free abortions to weight loss surgeries, to $145,000 salaries even though their students know absolutely nothing.
In math, 19% of Chicago third through eighth graders were proficient on the IAR’s 2024 test, a 2 percentage point increase from the previous school year. During the spring of 2023, 17% of elementary school students were proficient in math, but in the spring of 2019, 24% of students were proficient.
If you can’t do math, you’re more likely to be okay with a $10 billion budget for results like this. But how does an educational system run when no one learns anything?
We’re getting a peek courtesy of the Biden-Harris open borders program which flooded Chicago with migrant invaders.
The teachers we spoke with work in CPS elementary schools and say they spoke no Spanish, while their migrant students spoke no English, making communication virtually impossible. They also added that because their schools were located in predominantly Black neighborhoods, they offered no English as a Second Language (ESL) support. Despite this, they say they were instructed by school administrators to give their migrant students a 70 percent in every subject and pass them on to the next grade.
Teachers say this was the case even if their migrant students displayed severe academic deficiencies.
Education, schmeducation. What matters is making the system look good to justify those $145,000 salaries and the free Ozempic.
Public Education
aka government schools.
Public education at the behest of a treasonous government. It is time we take back the institutions and put a stop to that which should never be tolerated.
A Billion here a Billion there……Meh.
Government education. Private education sucks too but not nearly as bad.
Destroying education intersects with the Marxist program of destroying the institutions. The institutions of society are interdependent. As each one falls, others go down.
The Windy City of Windheads and still electing Demo-Rats
“Free Ozempic” – I heard that!
Permanent underclass inbound hot.
2+2=5? OK. Bastante bien para trabajo de gobierno.
I thought they were doing that all along. Many of them appear to be lawfare lawyers now.
The planned destruction of America on display
What a disgrace. How does the country overcome this rampant stupidity coming from the people ” in charge”?
The damage has already been done. The public schools have been flooding America with uneducated. young adults for a long time. Not sure if a nation can recover from something like this. In the mean time In China, for instance , they insist on excellence in school. Students learn Algebra as a concept starting in Kindergarten., are doing pre-calculus in 7th 8th grade to prep them for Calculus in High school. We are doomed……
This article doesn’t have any sources for the quote, or any sources at all. Who said that quote? Am I missing something?
Public education: A national chain of grooming salons that convert students into obedient Democrat voters. It doesn’t matter if they know anything, as long as they do what they’re told.
but why are people surprised with this, if they are? they pass hispanics and blacks unable to read at a second grade level all over america!
being literate apes whitey whom they hate and loathe, just as they do literacy.
we need to get real about these things, which means setting aside woke fascism.
4rh grade, 8th grade etc means nothing to me except that the kids will continue to struggle at each follow-on grade. until they are 18 and “graduate”.
Is the system good enough? What is the end product.? The high school grad,
All I get is that 37% of people are capable of going to college straight out of high school

But about people in the trades?. Do they need to read at the 12th grade level? I do not know in general. I would expect an electrician to be able to read at the 12 the grade level, I would hope so.
Collective Bargaining and education don’t mix. Great for mediocre and bad teachers, everyone else loses.
