In Cook County, 89.2 percent of black third grade students failed the 2021 state English exam.
This means 89.2 percent of black third graders are not proficient in English, which is considered a core skill for later success in life. These students struggle with understanding what they’ve read, recounting stories, and learning from illustrations like pictures of maps, according to the standards set by the state.
Numerous counties saw all black third grade students fail to reach an acceptable proficiency level in English. Counties include: Alexander, Marion, McDonough, Pulaski, Jefferson, Henry, and Randolph County.
Illinois report card data showed there were dramatic declines in academic achievement since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
However, a Wirepoints investigation found the Illinois school system prioritizes social promotion of black students over their literacy.
“'Social promotion' – pushing kids into the next grade regardless of ability – leaves unsuspecting Illinois parents believing their kids are being educated simply because they're advancing,” wrote report authors Ted Dabrowski and John Klingner. “Social promotion in Illinois continues into high school. That’s when district officials tell parents what they want to hear – that their children have what they need to graduate.”
Wirepoints also cited “racial equity” programs that blame low black student scores on racism, calling schools “more obsessed with vague outcomes like equity and diversity than merit and competence.”

To paraphrase Kelly Bundy, “What’s the problem? It’s not like I’m ever going to England.”
If Abbott sends enough illegals, they’ll need to start teaching them English as a second language. I’ll bet they’d out-perform Chicago’s blacks.
Any way you slice it, incredibly sad.
Everyone and everything involved in this have absolutely failed. From the child (least to blame) up to big mommy government.
The only sad part is that these are NOT the people Bill Gates wants to depopulate.
It’s way worse than that. Inner city kids trying to excel are labeled oreos trying to be white. Misery loves company
I have heard of education being likened to a three-legged stool: students, teachers, and home. If one of the legs is compromised, the stool won’t stand. Sounds like they have some legless stools here. If the kids are not literate, not even responding to graphics, then they aren’t likely to be learning anything else either.
One of my second cousins, a sweet girl from a small town in southern Illinois, took a teaching job in Calumet City. She lasted the Fall semester and returned to small-town southern Illinois, to teach at a Catholic school, where she has done well.
If they really wanted to improve education then they would stop the affirmative action type hires of the semi-educated, practically illiterate, so-called teachers. They’re morons who can barely speak English themselves.
That’s been a problem for decades now in inner city schools and it’s become too much of a 3rd rail subject to even mention, but the results of their stupidity is obvious.
Stupid in... Stupid out.
Gut wrenching article.
You can’t teach English to midgets trying to figure out what sex they want to be. When I was a third grader, I wanted to be Zorro. My parents bought me a Zorro suit for Christmas and I was able to go back to my studies without missing a lick.
School Vouchers. Problem solved. Make schools compete for the kids and the money, and make them turn out a good product (educated kids.)
lol
How about talking to the Fathers? Oh -—— wait ———
“In Cook County, 89.2 percent of black third grade students failed the 2021 state English exam.”
Solution: give ALL exams via cell-phones, with extra points awarded for recognizable punctuation.
“””In Cook County, 89.2 percent of black third grade students failed the 2021 state English exam. This means 89.2 percent of black third graders are not proficient in English, which is considered a core skill for later success in life.”””
The Leftists need to up their game. When 100% lack a core skill necessary for later success in life, the Leftists are then in total control.
87% aced in that course.
She tried to talk to the mothers of the others, but it was hopeless.

I’m curious. How did they react, like it wasn’t important? Like they couldn’t believe their darlings weren’t applying themselves? Blaming the teacher? I just wonder what their mindset was.
You don’t need English on the democrat plantation
