Take the kids from those one third and put them in the other schools until all of them are full.
It could be worserer. Half the schools could be a third full. Then what? 🤔
Fire half the teachers in those schools. Tell the teacher’s union to suck an onion.
That's English and Math, so RACIST!2
Whoda thunk that those criminal kids don’t go to school?
Move all the illegals into the vacant classrooms and Brandon will love it.
Great, they have more room for Texas to send their illegals there.
“The least-utilized school in CPS is Frederick Douglass Academy High School, which listed an ideal capacity of 888 students but only enrolled 34 students in the 2022-2023 school year. The school used just 4% of its space, which includes a swimming pool. Nearly three-quarters of those enrolled students were chronically absent.”
Doing a little math, roughly 25 of the enrolled 34 were chronically absent, so some days there might be a dozen or so kids attending. Wonder how big the staff is at FDAHS.
They bees bizee.
The media causes covid school desertion, now the media is looking for a scapegoat.
For my entire lifetime the teacher's unions have used the excuse of overcrowded classes as to why they could not achieve academic excellence.
Now they have half the class size, plenty of time for individual student instruction and they still can't teach anything other than CRT, DEI, trany indoctrination and the general belief that the student are victims of a terrible form of a republic.
I guess the class size really didn't matter, just their incompetence. But then we always knew that.
Defund public schools.
We have to burn the village to save it.
Close the school, and bus the kids to a different one.
Just further proof upon many others that public schools exist to employ teachers union members.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
“Over 34% are less than half full, 57% are underutilized,”
Those kiddos in Chicago that aren’t in school have probably been drafted into gang armies and are out in the wilds killing each other.
There needs to be two different systems in Chicago. Reform schools for the students who are missing classes or acting up. Then you have the regular schools where you have students who want to learn. There will be no sports at the reform schools. I bet you that students will do much better because there will be accountability.
Money laundering
But are the kids getting educated? That’s what matters.
