Yes, you read that right, nearly twenty thousand tax dollars are spent on each student in the Chicago Public Schools jurisdiction... each year… only to provide one of the worst educations in the nation’s public education system. I mean, that’s literally private school or college tuition right there, and you can be sure that no $20k-a-year institution has a graduating class that’s 25% illiterate.

Democrats help people with problems.

If Democrats actually solved those problems, the people would have no reason to vote for Democrats.

And thus, Democrats have a disincentive to actually solve any of their voter’s problems.

If Republicans were smart (I know, you don’t need to say it) they would focus on solving the problems of Democrat voters (like poor education) which would leave the Democrats without voters.

Quick, let’s import a bunch of illiterate illegal aliens.

Students are crippled by our "education system" in the first through third grades due to the methods being used to teach reading.

They have been taught to look at the "whole word" as if it is Chinese characters, which is fine after you know a word by sounding it out and begin to remember it.

They are taught to guess at words they don't know based on the context.

When they get in the workplace and encounter a lot of words they don't know, they can't function.

Only those who somehow learned phonics can.

Even in high school and college in history and in technical areas they can't read the new words.

This started in 1909 and has gotten worse every year.

Corrupt mayor of a suburb outside Chicago. Pretty brazen. Eventually, the Feds will bust her? (Or not.)

“Cook County, or Chicagoland, has a higher illiteracy rate than Illinois..”

They are so pathetically low IQ and that’s why they vote so heavily democrat.

California not that far behind the drop out rate is staggering and they keep throwing money into it.
The education system here is a scam a third grade teacher can earn $165.000 a year.

“… or complete simple forms.”

Mail-in ballots are such a good idea!

$18,216 times 30 pupils per class equals $546,480.
