They spoke no Spanish, while their migrant students spoke no English.
Chicago has a $9.9 billion budget. Its teachers’ unions, who control the city and have one of their own in the mayor’s office, get everything from free abortions to weight loss surgeries, to $145,000 salaries even though their students know absolutely nothing.
In math, 19% of Chicago third through eighth graders were proficient on the IAR’s 2024 test, a 2 percentage point increase from the previous school year. During the spring of 2023, 17% of elementary school students were proficient in math, but in the spring of 2019, 24% of students were proficient.
If you can’t do math, you’re more likely to be okay with a $10 billion budget for results like this. But how does an educational system run when no one learns anything?
We’re getting a peek courtesy of the Biden-Harris open borders program which flooded Chicago with migrant invaders.
The teachers we spoke with work in CPS elementary schools and say they spoke no Spanish, while their migrant students spoke no English, making communication virtually impossible. They also added that because their schools were located in predominantly Black neighborhoods, they offered no English as a Second Language (ESL) support. Despite this, they say they were instructed by school administrators to give their migrant students a 70 percent in every subject and pass them on to the next grade.
Teachers say this was the case even if their migrant students displayed severe academic deficiencies.
Education, schmeducation. What matters is making the system look good to justify those $145,000 salaries and the free Ozempic.
Yay us!!!
Please forgive me, I’m not trying to be haughty but to be grammatically correct, the phrase would be “we have gone.”
Yes, very true.
Sadly.
Rewarding incompetence and laziness - the liberal way.
Actually, considering that teachers are often assaulted, and sometimes raped, maimed or murdered, it's just your typical hazard pay.
Fault Free "Education"
That is how you get idiots like Kamala. Embarrassing
Yep, you keep those kids coming in, and you keep your job.
How horrible.
When I was in elementary school, I was in a GT class (gifted and talented) with two other students. The teachers would just hand us our books and tell us what to do, leaving us alone for the entire class period so they could work with the remedial students, who barely knew the alphabet. IIRC, there may have been three or four in that class while the rest of the class was reading at avg or above avg (25-ish students).
One way to tear down a country is to stop teaching the children. Now, we have not only low IQ invader’s children attending schools with children - who take away from taxpayers’ children’s right to receive an education- but also pedophiles teaching them along with mentally unstable people injecting them with confusion - who has time for English, history or math???
they have been doing it to thier own for decades so whats the diff
I.e. don’t hire any Chicago public school graduates.
Thinking you are correct.
I should have been paying better attention to the chalk board in Composition 101 but there were just too many hot girls in that classroom.
Or the money.
Chicago is only spending $30,000 per student per year so the poor teachers are trying as hard as they can with such limited funds.
We need to invest more in our children with better funding.
After all, our children are our future. And those gender altering hormone injections are just so darn expensive.
The Democrat Plan to keep the colored on the plantation.
THIRTY THOUSAND A YEAR PER STUDENT????? Money outright wasted on what is no more than a high end daycare or pre-prison for some. That is tuition to a private college in some states.
Any failing student - due to misbehavior or truancy - needs to be put in a ‘work school’ where they won’t interfere with children who actually WANT to learn. Let them learn manual labor or how to adjust to prison life. Those failures are destroying our future as a country by taking away from those who want to succeed.
Back in the day, our research program had some of the brightest and best educated people from around the world.
Many of these people were taught in some pretty austere educational environments, sometimes even with dirt floors.
Their text books were cheap knock offs of the Americans texts, often printed on cheap brown rice paper so thin you see the printing on the other side if you held the page up to the light.
American kids spent more with their lunch money each day than was spent to educate some of these foreign students.
One of the most brilliant guys I ever knew and a full prof at a pretty decent institution of higher learning barely ever set foot in a classroom.
He went to work in the merchant marine at the age of 14 to help support his family. He loaded up with books before each voyage and studied on his own in his off time.
I quickly learned that money spent on an education did not necessarily equate with academic success. America's education establishment increasingly keeps spending more and more money on students who increasingly have less and less motivation and capability to learn.
Indeed like actors say the best way to do a role is speak low and slow to make it believable.
America cannot have enough dipsh*ts. Especially the kind who can’t even speak English. We really need to thank the UN sh*tholes all around the world for sending us their garbage and sewage made up as poor wittle “refugees”. The UN turd worlders have got to go. Shut that sh*thole down!.
