Researchers say they're not exactly sure why Chicago schools alumni graduate from college in such low numbers... Might look at the NEA and it's agenda.

Yeah...welcome to our public school system. But, I bet they can recite every rap song made over the last 5 years and cut up an ounce of coke in equal portions like a trained chemist.

The Chicago School Board will point to this as progress. LOL
Okay, it will only be a few days before the same folks who gave Chicagoans this mess, promise that they have a 'new plan'.
What's this, the 27th plan in as many years?
Headline in 2010. One freshman in Chicago high schools will go on to get a degree. Then the next plan...

The Democrats claim to be the party of education.../s
The Union does their job of protecting the union bosses but fails with educating the students.
Is their a worse school system than Chicago ?

It's not the schools its the kids. They care more about being cool than being smart.

"When students here are unprepared for college or the world of work, they are condemned to social failure," That is why the NEA fights vouchers so damn hard, they thrive on failures.

Is their a worse school system than Chicago ? oh-oh.

Ounces of coke are cut into 1/8ths. 8-balls. And you can guarantee that what you said about the accuracy is true, also they know to the cent how much profit they will make from it.
Just a little trivia from having bail-bonded for years.

I will fight vouchers as well, for a different reason. I do not want the typical public schooler to ruin the good private schools.

Chicago bites. Another perfect example of liberal utopia failure.

Refer to Democratic playbook, page one of one, first paragraph, where it says "throw more money at the problem". In the second paragraph it says, "do a survey and ask the people if they are willing to pay more taxes if it went for education?" Refer to footnote on same page where it says, "you don't have to spend one cent of the new taxes on education because the MSM will never ask".

I figured Saint Obama would have fixed this by now. /s
