I hope they didnt cook their goose
Every liberal’s middle name is “Fraud.”
so now they’ll have to get a pass for the rest of their miserably lives ,LOL
Wikipedia had to add something to this definition:
“Social promotion is an educational practice in which a student is promoted to the next grade at the end of the school year, regardless of whether they have mastered the necessary material or attended school consistently.”
It was

The practice has been going on for generations.
What about Citizens ? Screw them ?
Yep. I went through a high school in Houston in the 1970’s.
We all knew the kids that were “socially promoted” and those who had to earn it.
As always.
The same thing happens here in Austin. Apparently, failing someone is racist.
In anticipation of a TDY assignment to a German AA range, I took two six~week immersion courses. By the end of that summer, I spoke nearly fluent German.
Few years ago, had a teacher friend tell me (under the table) that they were not allowed to give any grade less than a “C” to the Hispanic students. She was as disgusted as I was.
They’re not doing the children any favors. Then again, they don’t actually care about second-language illiterates.
And what happened to them?
Pilot of jumbo jet. Supervising officer giving okay to the structural safety of a bridge. Surgeon doing heart surgery.
When I was still working an always-vote-Dem coworker said he had a frustrating interchange with a supervising postal employee. He said “Someone like that, so stupid, so incompetent, unable to understand simple things. I suddenly thought: not just him, not just here, not just the Post Office but all over the country at all the jobs there are people unqualified like that running things all over the place.
I was like a parent whose 2nd grader got a sudden revelation
about how math works.
Writing as a retired public school teacher, I can see one reason for passing the illegal on. Public schools are required to provide things like translators and special ESL classes for students who need it. Being a black school is no excuse for not providing the special services the kids need. Promoting them on to the next grade may shield them from lawsuits, etc.
The way the laws read, if they have to cut back on the needs of regular kids to come up with the money for the ‘special’ kids, so be it. Kids with special needs come first. Crazy, but that’s the way it is.
Tough break for Chicago taxpayers.
And if they went along and didn’t resign in mass they are accomplices.
They could quit and get another job in another ISD easily
“...They also added that because their schools were located in predominantly Black neighborhoods, they offered no English as a Second Language (ESL) support...”
Listening to them speak, all Chicago students could benefit from learnng English as a second language
they have been doing this to thier own kind for years

Hmmm hadn’t thought of that before. That could be the reason why a HUGE percentage of Baltimore’s students are passed to the next grade every year WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO READ OR DO RUDIMENTARY MATH. Pretend the problem doesn’t exist and ignore it. I feel bad for all the kids affected.
Let’s do a comparison...
Chicago’s population in 2022 was approximately 2.6 million. If the FEDS delivered into the city some 50,000 illegals, that would be 1.9%.
In Springfield, OH, (a city that voted overwhelmingly for DJT in 2020), the population in 2022 was just shy of 60,000. The FEDS delivered 20,000 illegals. That is 33%.
No friggin’ comparison...
