In 53 Illinois school districts - "PARENTS" of these children really really really SUCK. ( most likely LIBTARDS. )

However, every single student will be passed on to the next grade.

Many of them will graduate from high school while barely being able to write complete sentences or do basic math. They will know how to protest, and which gender-pronouns to use.

But they can recognize a tranny and get their puberty blockers!

Not bad for Illinois. I live here and made sure I sent both my kids to Catholic primary and high schools. They both earned college degrees with very high grades. It was a financial sacrifice but well worth it. Obviously I agree with the voucher concept. Why can't a parent who chooses private school get a tax credit that is paid by the system anyway? The answer is clearly that teacher union members are greedy and lazy assholes.

But they will all get participation ribbons and be admitted to flagship state universities 'cause - well...you know

Don/t forget they are being taught COMMON CORE math, which is horrific.

I blame vaccines for being one of the major factors. The kids can't focus.

I guaran-damn-tee it the classroom didn't look like the one pictured.

Or, maybe it is, where the minorities don't even bother to show up.

~80% are in Chicago school district 299.

Just like everything else, take Chicago and to a slightly lessor degree C(r)ook county out of consideration and the stats significantly improve.

Democrat run cities just suck in every way and they should take responsibility for their failures.

I can say this for myself only. Went to grade school in Illinois, first 5 years spent in Lutheran school. 6th grade and part of 7th in public school. Then moved to South Carolina for the rest. MATH, is Greek to me! It's awful. Smh

Are these inner city schools or rural schools?

Obviously the standards are too stringent.

On the other hand, their desk-dancing scores are highest in the country.
