There is 8 million stories in the Naked City, this are one of them. Common Core at work. Will the guys at the prom be wearing their tuxes halfway down their butts? Are they gonna supply the chapperones with bulletproof vests? How fitting that this schoolg is named for Paul Robeson, commie extrodinaire.

And who gives a rat’s behind about your story anyhow?

[albie]

I see the problem. It should read, “This BE Are Story”.

[proxy_user]

My fingers sometimes type that sort of thing, but when my eyes see what they have written it gets corrected.

[njslim]

Ebonics....?????

[clintonh8r]

Are kids is stoopit.

[sten]

Paul Robeson High School is located in the Englewood neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side, one of the poorest and most dangerous neighborhoods in the city. The high school also is part of the failing Chicago Public Schools, or CPS, system. Four out of 10 CPS freshmen do not graduate. If they do graduate, 91 percent have to take remediation courses in college because they do not know how to do basic math and school work. Just 26 percent of CPS high school students are college-ready, according to the ACT subject matter tests.

The teachers' union bears no portion of the blame, I'm sure.

Will the guys at the prom be wearing their tuxes halfway down their butts?

"....by the cut of your suit, you went to Oxford or wherever. Naturally you think human beings dress like that. But you wear it with such disdain, my guess is you didn't come from money, and your school friends never let you forget it. Which means that you were at that school by the grace of someone else's charity: hence that chip on your shoulder."

“ Ode to the Spell Checker!”

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore too long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

I can see the rough draft...Dis be R storei. So, the final draft is a okeydokey improvement.

[Norm Lenhart]

Start taking kids aside at graduation at random and giving them a 10 question test straight from their finals. If they fail it, arrest the teacher for fraud and possibly contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

I am dead serious.

[cdga5for4]

Nobody cares about grammer any more. Its given little to know priority in the schools and the students could care less. Their just going threw the motions anyway. Its a loosing preposition.

How fitting that this school is named for Paul Robeson, commie extrodinaire.

Here, Robeson sings a Stalinist anthem:

Song of the Homeland (1942)

[Inyo-Mono]
