Chicago Teachers Told to Pass Every “Migrant” Student Even If They Know Nothing

The teaching staff spoke no Spanish, and their “migrant” students spoke no English—how could this possibly be a bad thing?

This from frontpagemag.com.

The Chicago Public Schools (CPS) has a $9.9 billion budget for the 2024-2025 school year. Its teachers’ unions—who control the city and have one of their own in the mayor’s office—get everything from free abortions to weight loss surgeries, to $145,000 salaries even though their students know absolutely nothing.

In math, 19% of Chicago third through eighth graders were proficient on the IAR’s 2024 test, a 2 percentage point increase from the previous school year. During the spring of 2023, 17% of elementary school students were proficient in math, but in the spring of 2019, 24% of students were proficient.

If you can’t do math, you’re more likely to be okay with a $10 billion budget for results like this. But how does an educational system run when no one learns anything?

We’re getting a peek courtesy of the Biden-Harris open borders program which flooded Chicago with “migrant” invaders:

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.

Teachers say this was the case even if their migrant students displayed severe academic deficiencies.

Education, schmeducation. What matters is making the system look good to justify those $145,000 salaries and the free Ozempic.

Final thoughts: Add this to the ever-growing Fix-It list of President Trump.
