Circling the Drain
As we have been saying for decades, if you don't have consequences for bad behavior, you will get more of it. Here it is again:
Forty percent of Chicago Public Schools students miss 10 percent (or more) of school without a valid excuse. How do we know that? Because the Illinois State Board of Education produces an easy-to-understand “report card” for every school in the state.
But that report card is changing as the state pushes to better gauge improvement, regardless of a school’s individual challenges.
Part of the rebrand is deleting the term “chronic absenteeism.” Schools will no longer be downgraded if students fail to show up, but a school’s overall grade can be “lifted” if students demonstrate “consistent attendance.”
So if students "consistently" show up 89% of the time, well....that's consistent, right? Even if it tops the 10% threshold that indicates a problem.
And they won't be holding school personnel, administrators or parents for that matter accountable.
But you know what their solution will be when kids can't read at grade level when they're pushed out the door? More taxes for a failing product.

Well Bob, I wouldn't say they've been missing it...
The entire CPS system is a sham and those that work inside it work to protect the scam. There is only one bar needed to measure CPS students by. Can they read and write by the time they get handed a diploma? CPS have been handing illiterates diplomas for decades. Don't tell me this isn't a scam. If Somali pirates start amassing in Chicago and start joining CPS services and su8pport it wouldn't surprise me at all. All these chillin's need to be in a learing center. School lunch programs? Autism tutoring? The ground is ripe for them to come here. Maybe Tim Walz can carpetbag over here and run for mayor?
Can Illinois claim having the worst public schools in the country?
JB can you fit that into one of your ads?
No accountability.
They'll do anything to hide the real facts: Chicago schools are a nightmare. Been bad for generation, with a few exceptions.
A conservative journalist who lives in Chicago wrote this about the CTU he points out what an evil group they are. Turning your kids into Commies!

Silly rabbit! Our taxes don't go for actual education! Taxes are strictly for salaries, benefits and pensions! The kids are an unfortunate afterthought.
CPS is a proven failure. I wish the State would pass a law to give children vouchers to attend the charter or private school of their parent's choice. Abolish CPS.
The state is saying they are broke. The county is broke. The city is massively broke due to the Democrats. They will steal more from the few people that are still working and actually paying the bills. Schools could easily be combined with a massive absenteeism and the schools that are operating with very very few students running the power plants full staff, grabbing salaries stealing from the taxpayers. This is ridiculous, but the same old people will vote the same way to put the idiots in charge as usual the communist teachers, Union prevails buying the mayor’s office for this totally incompetent delusional idiot in charge. At least the governor used his mom and dad‘s money to spend 100s of millions to buy the governor’s office. Everything‘s for sale!
even though most of the cps students are not smart they do understand that they do not have to attend classes to get that participation diploma they can't read
The CTU is a global embarrassment. How do you justify keeping schools open with 40 kids in in when there are supposed to be to be 1000?
The kids can’t read they pass them promote them to the next class even when they are dumb as a stone teachers don’t do their jobs. They are overpaid the whole system. It just needs a thorough cleansing! Billions of taxpayers dollars but literally be saved by closing the schools that are under utilized and under performing they could lay off half the staff half the teachers and have zero problem. The teachers Union controls so much they even used all the money they stole to buy the election for Brandon. Even Stacy Gates, the head of the CTU is smart enough. She does not send her children to the garbage disposal. She sends her children to private school because she knows how bad it is she works inside of it. Wonder how many other teachers refused to send their children to the public schools? Personally, I know of more than one they don’t want their children, subject to the indoctrination. They are forced to teach the other children the biggest asset we have are the children. If you don’t care about your kids, you can dump them in these garbage cans!
Of course you just change the metric to fit the result you want.
So 40% of our proprty taxes go to public schools where kids can skip class 10% of the time?? WTF! Not only that, factor in spring break, Christmas break, summer break, weekends and holidays off..and dont forget taking days off just to PROTEST! Its all bout the kids right..After all, these stupid kids will be future politicians and journalists...look what we have now, its a good preview.
The REAL systemic racism!!!! I’ll prepare an entire generation for the real world and then send them out into it!!!! What could go wrong?!?!?
What ever happened to the position of “Truant Officer”?
Be thankful ONLY 40% of your property taxes are going to pay for and ineffective education. Others are paying 55-65% property taxes for indoctrinational studies.
Dem state. Never happen here. Half these schools have less than half of the students they are supposed to have but continue to have FULL STAFFS and ADMINISTRATIONS. Loyal Dem Union voters!
Bring back the Truant Officers.
Now, kees me you fool!!!
In order to control the adults ignorance has to be created when they are children. By accomplishing this politicians can control the future and maintain power.
Admit it, what cop sends his or her child to a public school expecting a quality education?Politicians and elites don’t! The politicians and the elite send their children to private institutions at the earliest opportunity.
Control the children and control the future.
About 15% of CPS students reading at grade level. What % of CPS students are Asian and Caucasian? Add in a few % of Black and Hispanic with strong Mom and Dad supporting them.
Full time administrative staff , it proves these city leaders don’t know how to balance a budget. Depend on Uncle Sam and Taxpayers to pay for their incompetence. We all know who’s in charge??
I thank God for the nuns and what I knew in first or fifth grade!
Actually, California does, so Gavin Newsome beats Pritzker on this one. The state of Cali has the largest percentage of illiterate adults in the country, per their state's Dept. of Education.
Question those charter schools as well. A few may actually deliver the results parents are looking for, but I've tutored kids in charter schools in Philly and Los Angeles and they are just as backward and ill-behaved as kids in regular public schools. What's worse is they believe they're special, and don't need no more edumakatin' than they've been getting.
That’s why these ugly fools walk around jacking drivers then say Haaaw. Who me. Dumb fucks. Just like momma n sperm doner.
illiterate teachers for illiterate students.
The American shitbirds. Fuck CPS teachers. Both still here and retired. Always lived outside the city. Worked 5 months a years. Wouldn’t be too proud to say you worked for CPS. Drunk ole bitches. Retired got to be at least 60 or 65 now. Some maybe older. Yikes! Old beotches.
They can just go to calumet college like the command staff...
Wife is a college professor (and no, not a liberal). and regularly deals with absentee students who then demand a good grade. They're disrespectful (try that with a nun) and tell her what they expect and what she can and can't do. They lie and complain to the dean so often she wants a body cam.
Amen.
Even Barack Obama and Arne Duncan refused to send their own kids to the CPS.
Kamala for President of Somalia Says:
Yes, I too know all about circling the brain, as I have a cranium that naturally circles everything, which leads me to make the most important decisions in impacting the socio-economic situations of the universal impact of these important decisions. Oh,,,,, it’s
circling around the Drain you’re talking about? Oh well, sorry, same difference, anyway, never mind….
