The Chicago public school where no students can read or do math 

You can thank the Brandon of education - Randi Weingardner.

It’s a nikka thing not anything else.

gotta keep them dumbed down so they dont complain in there 15 minutes city's

Students might be better off learning to read by watching a RU-vid video. Boycott the schools, until the do what they've been paid to do.

Dumb and lazy children with dumba and lazy parents are to blame.

Hmm if a patient refuses to follow doctor's orders and dies do we hold the doctor accountable? I can't follow my students home to make sure they practice reading, writing, or math, sleep 8 hours, not use drugs/alcohol, not have extreme trauma in their home, etc. I don't teach in Illinois but have been a conservative teacher for 32 years in some inner city Title 1 public schools. We need a return to academic competition, NO group work, weekly spelling and math fact proficiency tests, use of workbooks, and an in-school screen time limit of 30 minutes daily. We also need to expell students who repeatedly violate school disciplinary rules and jail parents whose children are chronically tardy or chronically absent without acceptable reasons. Kids can't learn the content if they aren't at school. We also need parent and community volunteers. Lastly we must get all students who are more than 1 year below grade level into classrooms with similar achieving students for remediation. This worked well in 70's and 80's. We didn't have a giant mess back then. PS: I will never join any teacher's union.

No, it didn't. I've worked in education for over 20 years and it is impossible to steal the money without getting caught there are so many checks and balances. The problem is mismanagement of the funds...A LOT of money is wasted. And then there's special ed... The district I work for we have a lot of kids that need 1 to 1 staffing, and that gets expensive when you have to spend 40-50k+ for someone to watch ONE student all year. Not even teach the kid, just make sure the kid doesn't hurt themselves or someone else.

@@mrsleep0000 He did not say anything about stealing the money, there are ways to fill ones pockets and make it look legit. Where I live the school board keeps giving themselves raises even though the school system is broken. The powers that be will always take their cut of the money first with raises even though they do not deserve one. But what you said about Special ED, that is 100% true. I have seen this first hand, one teacher or assistant will take care of one kid and there is no teaching involved at all. It literally is a high priced baby sitting job.

@@mrsleep0000 Your argument doesn't encourage my support for our public school system, or the people employed by it, in any way whatsoever.

You need to be careful. You're getting news from Fox News. They spread disinformation. The true places where education if failing is the Midwest and South, not urban areas like NYC and California. Just look up the stats. Fox News is spreading propaganda. You know it's true.

Meanwhile schools in red states are used as target practice for innocent children.

💯 truth

I think I was the only one that didn't find that movie funny, because it was too realistic.

@@CharlieTawater BRAWNDO! The thirst mutilator.

I found it very funny now I see it as a horror movie. I was clearly unaware how close we were to it becoming reality

Is terry crews running for president also? 😂

@@yellowdog2181It’s NOT funny at all. The Children, will pay the price for this. If you really think that is funny, you must be a Democrat and you definitely need help! It’s not funny at all.

Give Chicago to Canada

I don’t support anybody that supports Democrats

Teacher's union makes money off taxpayers why should it be held accountable. If it were in the private sector it would be out of business.

@@ronniemassart3834 Come on, Canada has enough problems.

I was doing flash cards and reading encyclopedias before I started public taxpayer paid school. Got my diploma after my 12 years as well

Parents that work don't have the time for that. Why pay for teachers and schools if you have to do the teaching yourself? Plus not all parents are educated.

@JoXcalibur You're right. Reading books with them might take away from time spent scrolling Instagram or watching endless hours of Netflix shows. There's also no time to involve kids in things like cooking dinner where reading a recipe could involve doing simple math, or maybe even counting change in a piggy bank. That couldn't possibly give a kid good ideas of how percentages work. How could a kid get this far in school and still not read or do math? Must be because the parents are SO BUSY that they haven't shown up to a single parent/teacher conference in, what, 10 years? Kids in high school that can't read or do math are the fault of their parents as much as they are the fault of the teachers. You're merely excusing lazy parenting and entitlement.

25%??? Wow, that's over half.

It's not embarrasing. The children are not interested in the ROTE learning experience.

@@teenahweenah2608 Yea, that's embarrassing.

​@@teenahweenah2608it doesn't make sense to send your own child to a school that doesn't teach basic skills. It's embarrassing in the sense that children are sent and the staff getting paid to do nothing.

@@teenahweenah2608 You hold a horse's head under water long enough, it will come around to your way of thinking..

That's an absolutely pathetic neighborhood culture.

yep, but where is all that money going to???

@@sableann4255 Ukraine or the illegal immigrants

The money isn’t mismanaged, it’s stolen. There isn’t any other answer with those test scores.

this may be a REALLY dumb question, but who ultimately has the oversight how CPS is spending the money..is it the CPS CEO Pedro Martinez or the Mayor? If the Mayor, Chgo is screwed he is in it with the CTU.

It's $68k per student at that academy for zero proficiency.

@@chenyitube I think that was a misleading stat. They get only so much for each student, certainly not $68k.

Just luck with anything else the government does, there are corporations that are inside the education system that are stealing tax payer funds. How much do the school textbooks cost? Around $400 a book. That’s an insane amount of money to print a book. How much do they spend on those corporate made standardized tests? $1.7 billion in a single year. Why? What has this waste of money accomplished outside making the companies that make these tests rich?

That’s true too.

Black issue

nobody points the elephant in the room either its behavioural or cultural somehow, nobody points to genetics lol

It's not the parents job. Our government has stepped in between parents and their children. This is on our government now.

Well said

harsh but true....this is not being racist it's backed up by data

The mother/caregiver send the child to school, what does the mother's literacy have to do with educators not doing their job? 🧐 I expect people to effectively do the job they're paid to do.

@@michelej9496 Both of my African American parents were illiterate, and neither of them were in prison or jail. They both worked low wage jobs, raise three children who never went to prison/jail, and bought a home, and passed it down to their offspring. To be clear: A public school education is not essential to survive, and have a good life.

@@teenahweenah2608 that's your interpretation of what I said because I didn't say anything you said that's for sure. I never mentioned jail nor anything about education in order to achieve anything.

@@teenahweenah2608 that's your interpretation of what I said. Quote what you think I said, where did I mention jail or needing an education?

Exactly

I bet it’s a black school

How about teachers who can read and write 😂

for real! if they are worried about budget then cut the stuff out that doesn't matter and at least teach the kids enough to have a chance at life. science,social studies, art and music can be learned after hours on your own . p.e. ? friggin worthless. exercise on your own time. health class? dont smoke & wear a condom. that's all you need to know.

@@josephlalock8378 all they need to teach is how to do every day math, basic science, basic health, the history of the world, how to read and write, and gym so everyone doesnt end up fat

The educationals system is out of touch with reality. What exactly are they teaching?

We keep giving them money. Why should they be concerned?

@@user-zu5do6ri6r when the bot hits the nail on the head

A survey of Chicago students who were asked if their math's skills were improving found that 50% said yes, 50% said no, and 50% said they weren't sure.

Lib's answer is that math is racist.

@@user-um2gm6wb8u Comedy Central Sports Presents: BattleBots .........one bot attacking another.

I feel sorry for the good teachers. Between the bad teachers protected by the union and the bad students protected by the school administration, there is nothing much they can do. But the pay is not bad as well as the pension plan. Nobody is to blame so the only option is to request more funding. The school administrators are only trying to hold on to their well-paying jobs. Try to hit your head against THE WALL and you're gone.

@@joefirma2242 minority privileges Can't fire minorities

A head of one of the teacher unions once said, It'll be about the kids once they start paying union dues.

Nope, the problem is the students and their parents. It's not the school's fault. It's all about one community in particular. And at this point in time you have to wrap your head around these facts.

Students and parents, and voters, are major contributors to the acute problems in Chicago, and also other locales across the country. The parts of system itself however, the educators, staff, teachers unions, and elected boards over recent decades have been promoting their own agendas, and those agendas increasingly have little to do with insuring young people receive a valuable education.

They are liars.

@@User2718218I think it is all horrible problem stemming from all the schools and the parents.

One particular demographic

Government policies also contribute to the mess but I agree about the parents being the biggest part

Love your frank reply

😂 your right blacks are just willfully ignorant.

Bullshit 🐂

Failed parents.

Future failed society

@@illmade2 If they vote for a democat.

Failed Parenting is the problem

I hope things get better for you, David "Jane doe" Burgoyne.

You forgot to mention you get free housing, welfare, and free healthcare and dental!

Back in the day, if a student didn't act civilized, they got paddled. If they still acted stupid, they got tossed out so the teacher could resume teaching the well behaved students that wanted to learn

@@maxpinson5002 I was just telling the grandkids we had teachers that would smack you in the back of the head for talking in class or miss behaving

@@Sammo421 There weren't any "drive bys" or any of that during my years at school. Never even heard of it until I was 20 some odd. You either acted civilized or they tossed you out so the attentive students could learn and not be distracted by an unruly pinhead's BS

@@maxpinson5002 yes you are correct on that today’s schools are like the tail wagging the dog

Nah, this country has a parenting crisis.

Not all of us Chicagoans. Majority of voters would happily vote for decent alternative politicians. It’s hard getting past voter fraud like someone ‘finding’ a trunk load of ballots in their trunk. I wish Trump would get elected and send investigators all over to uncover voter fraud.

What? You are an 'election denying insurrectionist'?

Or you can just move like I did to a state that actually functions and save LITERALLY tens of thousands of dollars in the process

How do we do that with the rampant election fraud?

They feed off their kids' energy. They feed off their intellectual property. To sustain themselves. That's democrats for you.

That is exactly what they are!

They are raising and promoting the next gen of democrat voters so the endless cycle of stupidity can continue on there.

No you got it on first try! PROGRESSIVE! Being progressive is not a good thing,it always turns into something regressive! 😮😅😢

SERIOUSLY?! what's his name?

These kids are the problem. Imagine trying to teach a classroom full of delinquents that are refusing to learn. THEY DESERVE MORE MONEY FOR THE BULLSH## THEY PUT UP WITH !!! So F### 0FF

Nah this starts with nikkas

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

@@user-so2ni3lq1x 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Yep, when you're not accountable for anything, and rewarded for mediocre performance, this is what you get.

​@@filster1934they aren't even hitting mediocre. Some people held in bondage learned to read, they might be turning over in their graves.

Yes, it is all students and parents fault, not school or government!

Democrats... are you surprised?

During the dempanic plandemic, libs cried "follow the science", but when science said it was safe for the kids to go back to school, the teachers union cried they didn't want to go back!

But think about the ones who can claim at a job interview they were at the top of their class,

You’re a great parent!

" School is not a day care " It shouldn't be, but unfortunately it is for a large majority from one coast to the other I know some personally that are 3 generations of career welfare

Yes, but your type of parenting is not the norm in the neighborhoods where the public schools are bad.

@@richatlarge462 Granted and part of the blame could be the schools and the money that goes into those schools which can make a difference and the other part the parents are not well educated themselves which compounds the overall education of children in that neighborhood.

Teaching is racist,..

There were 50 kids in my K-8 school. 50 kids and one nun. No acting up. Everyone could read, write and do math at or above grade level.

@@mademsoisellerhapsody And if they did act up, the nun was allowed to discipline them.

I think it is worse than corruption, it is evil.

Defund, dismiss and ban the teachers union.

Is this true? Tenured public school teachers in Chicago make $92,000. to $108,000. a year??

​@@mht5875that's nothing as well. The district I went to school in tenured teachers are retiring at $175k a year

@@mht5875I would bet it is even more than that. And teachers are not paid based on merit like everyone else. They always get their raises regardless of how well their students do.

Of course so they can teach kids that it's ok to be trannies. That is more important than reading, writing and arithmetic.

Since 1931.

Illinois public school is ranked 12th. The bottom states are mainly republican states. Assuming you’re from one of those states.

@@thetruth3809 Just think of the Illinois public school ranking if the teachers' union was ousted and the subject of this video was addressed Kamala.

@@thetruth3809 you live in mom’s basement you don’t buy gas or groceries I bet

@thetruth3809 I'm from California and see that all schools spend enormous amounts of money on glorified daycare rather than a place of higher learning.

😂🤣 they talking about nikkas not people

You’re a great parent!

Exactly. It will fall on deaf ears though.

They already teach in ebonics whatchu mean cu

A lot of students with autism, ADHD, and other learning disorders 😢

In the 1960s there were fifty (50) kids in my class from K thru 8. 50 kids and ONE nun. Everyone could read and write at or above grade level.

​@@jandp2941yeah we called them stupid

It's the black students...always has been this way. They aren't as intelligent...period

Meanwhile schools in red states are used as target practice for innocent children.

And that's where all the problems are!

Amen.

Go to a base salary and a bonus for every student who meets the reading and math requirements. Reward performance not failure.

@@JohnP538 what if the student gets outside help, how would you determine how the skills were acquired? It wouldn't be fair to the educator if the student has a learning disability. When over fifty percent of the student body aren't meeting standards everyone needs to be demoted and bring in those who will raise the standards.

@@michelej9496 The Chicago Teacher's Union has been called, "The most powerful union in the country". Think of them as like the mafia but with less guns. They will crush any attempt to link performance results to compensation. They have their own "foundation" with a $43 million dollar wallet that "influences" politicians. Not bad for a union with less than 30,000 members.

we give too much money any way

An euridite education is the best quality of learning.

It's twice that amount.

I agree. If the parents and the kids don’t care then no amount of money can fix it. If the kids are willing to learn then any average teacher will do.

In other words, stupid people having kids. Yeah, I saw Idiocracy.

Agreed. Plus two parents needed

Our society has changed. The old school system doesn't work in our modern technological society.

There is another major factor. The curriculum is too focused on critical consciousness raising social and emotional learning. Too much time is stolen from math when they try and inject social criticism into 2+2.

Throw other people's money at it

People are now saying math is racist. What do you expect? It's the teachers that are the problem.

They own Pritzker too, and Kamala.

Must be a lot of nikkas in that school

But they know they need more money to fix a problem they cannot articulate

What school did you go to? Your grammar speaks volumes about your education.

@@teenahweenah2608, Says the kid that doesn’t want to have to go to school. Irony much😅

@@Bglsrck1959 I am an African American. Did you know African American slaves were denied educational opportunities. Did you know Jim Crow laws prevented African Americans from going to school? Public education is not the only sources of learning.

Lol, we're talking about Chicago and a very specific group of people. For the bar to get any lower it would have to be interred. All but two of my graduating class of 280 went to college. Few of us were of the aforementioned class, however.

Fun Fact < without assimilation, America gets nothing but the Bills /// Third world people in a first world country

Imagine sending your kids to school only 17% of the time and expecting results? Chronic student tardies and absenteeism is a nationwide problem. Not excusing the other problems but I can't teach absent students.

Why haven’t her parents done more? A child’s education is not just the responsibility of the school.

@@lr9010prbly can’t read themselves 🤨

It all boils down to a lack of sanctions and punishment for neglect or being distracted by outside influences by the children and lack of effort by many of the teachers. 60 years ago corporal punishment or detention was used to get lazy students to learn at least the basics of their coursework. Now many students and pupils are left to their own devices by teachers left with no recourse to any effective sanctions or punishments. Corporal punishment has been banned for decades but no effective alternative has been put in place in schools. Many learning deficiencies have been medicalised and put into the hands of social workers and psychologists with the tacit and unspoken tenet that such deficiencies are not the childs fault. They may not be the childs fault but the child must be encouraged to find a work-around to these difficulties if at all possible. They will suffer the consequences of poor academic performance in later life if neglected or ignored or "written off" in early childhood. If the home environment does not provide a support to learning this should be spotted as early as possible and alternative supports provided to make up for the lack of parental support where possible. I would not support a return to the days of school or home based corporal punishment or other forms of institutionally sanctioned violence as this only serves to teach a child that might is right and big people can pick on and bully small people, a very damaging and anti-social thing to do, but there must be some form of punishment or sanction involved to encourage learning and effective development in children.

Tell your friend to look online at a program called Explode the Code. The program goes from absolute beginner to end of 4th grade reading level. Then for basic letter sounds look up Fundations sound picture cards. It has a picture to anchor each basic sound. There are RU-vid videos to teach correct sound. Also McGuffey's primary eclectic reader (used for years to teach reading prior to 1940's) is free online at The Gutenberg online library. Hope these resources help

Was thinking the same thing. Racist teacher unions ruined public education for millions.

YES

For what they Make. With No accountability it’s a Fantastic part time job
