And likely lead Chicago to hire additional underqualified people to be teachers. So they can close the education gap by not demanding adherence to any real standards.
That'll teach those rich folks.
If only they would post the Ten Commandments in every classroom.
For real. Students in CPS are committing way too much adultery and forgetting the Sabbath too often for my liking.And likely lead Chicago to hire additional underqualified people to be teachers. So they can close the education gap by not demanding adherence to any real standards.

Why did you quote my post, for that comment?

Because I'm a poor?My kid's high school is, of course, participating, although at least they told the teachers they are not allowed to walk out. I told my kid I'd personally hide-strap his ass to a pine rail and send him up the Monon Line if I found out he ditched class for this.@bradstevens I'm sure more days outside of school will help narrow the massive gaps in educational performance.
Why would you be sending your kid to a public school in today's age, particularly in Chicago? I'm a product of public schools and used to advocate for them, but that is not the future. Teacher unions are an abomination.

@twenty Agreed in part but admissions at vandy is 2% and unc out of state is 7%. if my kids are going to end up coots and taters i'm not dropping a $150k on high school. i'll teach racism and bigotry at home to counter the woke

@hhlurker Better correct the contraction there HHLurker before the usual comeback appears.
How CTU is able to continually get away with turning their students into pawns for their depraved political games is one of the most galling things in American politics. How are people not prosecuted for this crap?
These people are straight up evil.
The amount of money Chicagoan’s funnel into this school system, it’s among the highest costs per pupil in the entire state, and for literally nothing. You could drop your kids off under a bridge each morning and the outcomes would be roughly the same. They might even learn some common sense under the bridge.
Come 2027 the average member of this cartel will be making $114k a year. So the majority of their students can read 3+ grade levels behind.
This is a topic I know very little about, so I decided to do just a little bit of research, because I figured, like most things, you probably know very little about it too, but espouse a strong opinion anyway.How CTU is able to continually get away with turning their students into pawns for their depraved political games is one of the most galling things in American politics.

CPS is apparently about a 3-tiered system. Select schools, neighborhood schools and charters/magnets/IB schools. All fall under CPS. Select schools are actually very good (96% graduation rate). Neighborhood schools are the worst. The charter/magnet/IB fall in the middle and perform at state averages and are very good, but not elite.
Baseline here, for conversation's sake:
- National college enrollment figures are roughly 61%.
- CPS college enrollment is about 66%
- National graduation rates are about 87%
- CPS graduation rates are 82%-83%, as of last year.
- CPS graduation rates were around 60% in the mid-80's.
- And while graduation rates have improved because of actual better outcomes, CPS students do still lag behind on college readiness and have a higher need for remedial courses when they enter college.
- CPS graduation rates are 82%-83%, as of last year.
- CPS graduation rates compared to some other metro school districts:
- CPS 82%
- Houston 82%
- Dallas 85%
- LA 85%
- Miami 86%
- Big shocker, education outcomes at CPS are tied very closely to poverty. Low income CPS students graduate within 1-2% points (usually on the higher side) of low-income students across the US.
- Low income CPS students graduate 80%-85%
- All US low income students graduate 80%-83%
- Low income white students across US graduate 82%-86%
- CPS Test scores are low and not good, but are really no different than other large, metro school districts and, when comparing low-income CPS to low-income US scores, CPS fares slightly better in reading and slightly worse in math, but essentially the same.
This wasn't part of the research outcome, but it seemed to me that CPS graduates are at least as smart as the average UPS driver. Maybe smarter.
