Should have given the tests in ebonics.
Not good enough! The democrats will not be happy until they reach 100%!
Ebonics matters.
English is racist.
“English is racist” coming in 3..2..1..
My daughter in law once taught in an inner city school for a while, but had to give up in frustration. In her classes, only a few students had any desire to learn. She tried to talk to the mothers of the others, but it was hopeless.
I bet they all know about being trans, their right to an abortion, and about global warming though!
Why is Lori Lightfoot so racist?!
The parents should be outraged, but they either don’t care or they’re afraid to say anything.
I am willing to bet that Asian immigrants whose mother tongue is NOT English speak English better than these kids in Chicago whose mother tongue is ostensibly English.
Correction. Public schooled black third graders.
Those in private or home school I know did way better.
This is tragic and it helps keep them malleable for democrats to indoctrinate and control.
Knowledge is freedom and they’re being deprived for the woke political ideology.
About the same percentage of third graders who have absolutely no idea who their fathers are. Racist? ... No, reality.
Must be a call to lower the standards.
When learning proper English, or anything else for that matter, is considered acting “white” are we really surprised.
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.
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.
