A stunning new report has determined that students at 55 different schools throughout the city of Chicago are failing so badly that not a single student can do basic reading or math.
(snip)the report from Wirepoints analyzed student performances across 649 public schools in Chicago during the 2021-2022 academic year. (snip) the report determined that 22 schools saw zero students who could perform grade-level reading, while another 33 schools had a zero percent passing rate for grade-level math.
“Defenders of the current system are sure to invoke COVID as the big reason for the low scores,” (snip) the 2019 numbers show that the reading and math numbers were only slightly better

Future welfare recipients. Just as the Democrats want them.

Big effing surprise. Obviously much more money needs to be invested in higher teachers salary and benefits to motivate them to actually do their jobs and teach. But students are too busy tic toking and Facebooking.

Yeah, but how many in these 55 schools are proficient in gang banging, attacks on Whites, the elderly, Asians, shoplifting, car jacking, etc. ? Bet the proficiency and graduation rate for this course is 100%.

Once again.
This is what dumbing down looks like.
They cannot read or write but will be 'experts' in all things woke.

Proof that reading and math are racist.

This sad but not surprising. Students are probably only taught how to shoplift, play around on social media, and spout off ignorant memes like on 'The View'.

1) Ban the lie-beral teachers' unions, as well as any administrators and teachers who have any priority except for academic excellence for their students. No exceptions.
2) Establish order and discipline in the schools. Any student that is violent is booted immediately and permanently. Any student that is disruptive gets one warning and then is booted permanently. No exceptions. Have a dress code, and any student that doesn't follow it gets sent home. Get sent home for abusing the dress code three times, and you are booted. No exceptions.
3) Make it very clear to the students that academics comes first, and if you achieve the necessary competence in academics, then extracurricular activities (band, choir, drama, sports, etc) will be available and properly funded. But if you aren't willing to study and work hard on academics, you don't get to play. No exceptions.
4) Fire all incompetent teachers, and actively recruit for proven, successful, experienced teachers, and pay them appropriately. No exceptions.
If they are failing this badly, it's going to take a lot of money to fix this school system. But it's worth it if they get rid of lie-beral "wokeness" and actually start being a district of academic excellence.
None of that will happen. They will just keep throwing good money after bad, and nothing will improve. Chicago public school students will continue to be failures, and the cycle will continue from one generation to the next.

Anyone mentioned this to Commie Bernie Sanders, who believes that all teachers should earn at least $60,000 a year regardless of proficiency or results?

This is child abuse of the worst possible kind.
These children had no control over the fact that they were born black b'tards - - no control at all. But at least the adults - - both in and out of "the community" - - who are aware of that could have the decency to give them a hand up - - to give them the one thing which could help them improve their awful birth circumstances.
But those adults are horribly evil people. They care nothing about the poor - - the black - - the lowly born - - and everything about themselves and their political careers. If it helps them to advance - - who cares that these kids are doomed to a life of poverty, drugs, and crime? Let them eat fentanyl! We have ourselves to think about.

Private schools, Catholic schools, Protestant schools and home schools are producing literate, well read and 'mathed' students. Democrats...squishy soft on crime, rock-hard on tax increases and abortion/sleaze sex issues, soft and wet, spongy, on education.

Why bother with that stuff when everything you need is laid in your lap?
Want something you don't need? Take it, no strings attached.

I would say the most, if not all, are in the welfare program. And they are content with that.

Been watching 'The Wire' for a few nights...language is raw, but if you can get past that it is a great look into the world of street drugs and dirty politicians...in Baltimore...but it could probably just as easily be Chicago...

Look at Chicago Public Schools as a big "Trade School" for the students most likely profession later in life in Chicago. CPS students (at least the girls) are profecient in knowing the welfare programs they can get, all qualifications, and how to apply for them by time they are age 16 or have their first babies out of wedlock. They also know how to braid hair and get their nails done. All of the boys know how to hustle drugs and handle guns while having their women support them if they re not in jail or dead. These are all useful life skills on the Chicago streets once you are past age 16. See, Chicago schools really do prepare their students for real life in the city!

Liberals who have been running eductaion in this country for the last 50 years. Will tell any and all conservatives that they have no idea on how to run education. I'll bet dollars to donuts we couldn't not have done worse.

Like Baltimore, Chicago is just another city on the democratic plantation. Fact is, every democratic run city has the same problems. Violent crimes, drugs, homelessness and zero education. Can anyone name one thing that democrats have done that benefits the black community. Didn't think so.

Clearly, they need to lower the definition of "proficient", a word loaded with White Supremacist Racism.

And they wonder why people are pouring out of the state. I'd start with firing the entire state Dept of Education and all of the Chicago teachers and Administrators. Hah, like that'll happen. What they should do is disband the union. State employee's who are paid with tax dollars ought not be allowed to rule the rust just because they belong to a union. The union along with the stupidity that passes for higher education in our nation today is responsible for the total cluster foxtrot our schools have become.
