The Left loves to tell us we need to keep sinking money into government schools because it's the only way we'll improve education for children.
That is, of course, a lie. We spend outrageous amounts of money on government schools and get terrible outcomes. The solution requires a lot of hard work and discipline, so government schools won't do it.
Instead, they'll just pass failing students. Including migrants.
We’re now rigging the public education system to advance migrants who can’t get passing grades on their own pic.twitter.com/9yw21jbUZG

Here's a reminder that 21% of students in Chicago schools are proficient in reading.

Here's more from WGN Radio:
Since 2022, nearly 50,000 migrants have been bused to Chicago from the Texas border. While not all of these new arrivals have opted to stay in Chicago, many who have chosen to make the city their new home have been resettled in predominantly Black neighborhoods on the South and West Sides. Now, WGN News can exclusively report that several Chicago Public Schools (CPS) teachers who work in these communities say they were told by school administrators to give migrant students passing grades last school year.
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.

What could possibly go wrong when churning out generations of children who can't read, write, or do math?

Really a damning indictment of government schools.
Back in 2023, ZERO students at 13 Baltimore schools tested proficient in math. ZERO.

Just pretend everything is fine.

Unfortunately, we're going to have an abundance of young adults who can't read, write, or do basic math. We're going to have to hire them eventually.

Yeah, the only shock here is of the pretend variety.
It isn’t just migrant children. Public schools coerce teachers to pass all kids because, in most states - including Illinois, a school’s overall rating is tied to graduation rates.

Which is absolutely laughable. But that's government for you.

So, so many things.
This has been the way for many years. Keep the cheap labor market locked into their class where the government wants them. Hopeless, dependent and Democrat.

Bingo.
Ummm my child is a CPS teacher. This not only applied to illegal children, but all children. They were told everyone passes. That is why she teachs sophomores who have a reading comphrension of a 5th grader. Everyone gets to pass. They were told this by adminstration

This is so, so wrong.
This might rank as one of the most unsurprising stories, but it's worth telling anyway. https://t.co/Syy8jJrlut

Yes, it is.
Nobody is failing poor and immigrant kids more than the public schools. NOBODY. https://t.co/ZfGP1ha7Oz
— Pradheep J. Shanker, M.D. (@neoavatara) September 19, 2024
Nope.
And the Left rabidly opposes school choice to get these kids out of those failing schools.
We all know why.
Another thing you were told didn’t happen?
— Sunny (@sunnyright) September 19, 2024
Now confirmed to have happened. https://t.co/yU1Fkp6y28
Whenever the Left says something isn't happening, it's happening.
The only question is how long it takes for the truth to come out.
