Want to see an explanation, in one chart, of how impossibly disastrous the Chicago public school system is?
If so, this should interest (and appall) you:
Ok, damn near no one shows up and damn near no one gets educated. But at least the “educators” perpetrating this farce are more than well compensated – with great retirement benefits as well.
And, yet, despite what you see in this chart (and the fact that, although not quite as bad as these 20 schools, there are plenty more with similarly ugly data), the overall Chicago high school graduation rate is at 84%.
The fact that only a small fraction of “graduates” can read or do simple math? Irrelevant ‘n’ immaterial.
One last thing: if you think Chicago is the only major Democrat-dominated city in the country with data similar to this, you are living in a dream world.
But, hey, if the cities’ voters keep putting the same people, with the same attitude toward education (among other things) in office, I guess that’s what they went.
I hope they’re enjoying it….
