And They're Demanding Raises?

If you can't meet the standards, just lower them!

  • Most Illinois students are struggling to read or do math at grade level on their end of year state assessments. The State Board of Education’s solution? Lower the standards.

    The board of education approved a plan to lower the scores needed to be considered proficient in reading and math on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness. It also determined the scores needed to be considered proficient in reading and math for 11th graders as the state moves from the SAT to ACT as the state-required assessment for high school students.

    The most recent state data available shows only 41% of students in third through eighth grade could read at grade level in 2024 and just 31% in 11th grade. In math, 28% of third through eighth graders were proficient and 26% of 11th graders

    New proficiency rates will be implemented on the 2025 Illinois Report card released in October, leaving Illinoisans unable to compare scores to previous years’ proficiency rates.

Got to love that last paragraph, making it impossible to actually assess the year-over-year improvements....or the far more likely, the declines.

Indiana resident and CTU boss Stacy Davis Gates still wants Fata$$ to come up with another billion-and-a-half while her members haven't successfully taught kids to read and do math at grade levels in years.

It is truly past time to break the CTU.

i remember when i was in school, the teachers would basically tell us that they were always teaching at least a 1 yr or grade behind. If I remember correctly, our schools "accelerated" or "honors" program is just a regular class compared to school district up north or in a different state. Our state exam was considered to be a joke.

A dumbed-down electorate is a dependable, democrat electorate.

And don't you forget it. Sure the Chinese are pressing their students harder, but we've got nothing to worry about, right? Those McDonald's jobs will be paying $35/hour in the next few years. STEM, shmem!

The CTU objective is to have the student eligible for public dependency upon graduation. Unable to read, do math or understand how to think.

If there was ever a solid reason to home school , this is it. It is utter insanity and criminal negligence to do this to kids.

The truth hurts, so we’re gonna have more mentally retarded. People being taught by mentally retarded, so-called indoctrination specialist. The children are totally being destroyed at Indies institutions. If you were a cop and you’re stupid enough to be taking his extravagant vacations, buying the hottest vehicles have to have the biggest houses and you send your children to these garbage disposal institutions you are also mentally retarded. Somethings wrong with you. You don’t care about your children.

More useful math skills are to be found when the books don't balance to the penny on the daily summing up of the dope sales.

Posts on websites are so cringeworthy. I can see why IQ is steadily decreasing in this country

Studied Electronics 101 with Uncle Mickey. He wasn't an instructor. Got a 40, which was a fail, but he just slid over ye olde Bell Curve and viola! I passed with a B. I took that class again as I didn't understand the subject after fail-passing his class. He was ahead of his time!
