Nope. Fix issues the best u can but avg test scores in Chicago Public Schools will always suck when all these kids are poor. Gotta accept that. Unless u want to expel all of them for any little problrm. Test scores don't tell you how good a school is. Mostly depends on demographics.

And? You and your punting on fixing issues again. I grew up on the south side of Chicago in a crap neighborhood poor but my parents would not let me out of the house if any grade dipped below a B. End of story. No sports. Nothing.

Could a bigger problem be that 95% of kids in public schools are in poverty, have broken homes, abusive childhoods and come from crime ridden neighborhoods? I've heard that rich kids never attend public schools in Chicago. The avg test score for these groups is always very low, regardless of the teachers.

Why do teachers get coddled. They want to not be reviewed. They want tenure. They get freaking mental health days once a month and days to “clean” their rooms lol. The system is a joke and they are not educating. I’m not for eliminating schools but no one in ctu or democrat leadership admits they suck at educating. They are not working to fix shit. They spend more time telling kids about gender ideology than teaching actual skills required in life.

So eliminate Public Schools in Chicago?

1 in 5 kids can read at their level. Throwing rocks at books may yield better results

Yeah, that is pretty awful. I am not sure what a solution for that environment would be. I'd imagine that you'd need a radical overhaul of everything--- starting with the career administrators who spent two or fewer years in a classroom and couldn't hack it. Most would be gone, and all are overpaid. A lot of these admins are made up bs political positions. The union probably presents issues too, but that would be difficult to solve. And a lot of the issues start in the home and the environments the kids are raised in.

So eliminate public schools in Chicago? If u can't afford pvt school, too bad so sad?

I want to see Suriano vs DeSanto rematch

Complete elimination of something that bad would hardly change the education on average for kids in these blue cities. this guy is a puppet of cps and gives them whatever they want yet no one is learning anything https://youtube.com/shorts/puhgZB2gTFw?si=b7puz_eYp8gaqTh6

Point? You think it's the teachers fault? Will funding cuts fix it?

How much worse could test scores get? Average army educated posters may be able to teach better in Chicago State test scores are in for Chicago Public Schools, and fewer than 1-in-3 students could read and fewer than 1-in-5 do math at their elementary grade level in 2024. https://www.illinoispolicy.org/fewer-than-1-in-3-chicago-public-schools-students-read-at-grade-level/

Not against properly funding schools, but equity (equal outcome) hurts some of the brightest and hardest working students. Like you said, it needs to go.

Go ahead and change that then, but don't use that as an excuse to destroy funding.

Unfortunately public schools and their obsession with "equity" is a big part of the problem.

Having strong public schools (including funding) creates equal opportunity, or at least somewhat levels the playing field. Cutting funding to public schools destroys it.

Love the side by side. Brandon Johnson saying in 2022 while campaigning they will solve crime with his plan. Then switching to 2025 saying the shooting will continue lol. Worst mayor in the USA https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8BKYYDu/

It is pretty cool news. Such a young successful athlete to become a mom. It is not common for a woman to get pregnant in her prime(she might not even be in her prime yet). It is often pushed til retirement. A unique situation. Can anyone name a similar situation to this? Amit is 21 years old.

Hopefully this nonsense doesn’t occur. Maxine waters is a tool https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1CELDg8yxG/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Great essay. Agree pretty much word for word.

I think a distinction that is being missed here is the difference between cooperating with, and being thankful for (as it pertains in the other thread) for law enforcement engagement, vs military troops engaging in law enforcement in American cities. Military policing Americans has always been a no no. It’s a big reason for the revolution that started our nation. And it is not what is being agreed to here. DC, while appreciating and encouraging the assistance of law enforcement agencies, is also suing the administration over the use of military troops policing our citizens. Can’t undo what has been done, so I’m assuming they are suing for the sake of it not becoming the norm, which it seems to be creeping toward.

The same people who fabricated Russia gate and said the laptop was Russian disinformation. The corporation isn't even debatable.

I have no evidence and neither do you. Circumstantially the left is on way thinner ice. No matter what happens at this point I don't trust anything that the left had their hands on in an organization that has proven itself corrupt.
