Ted joined the Annie Frey Show to talk about Wirepoints’ new report on the 67 Illinois schools where not a single child tested proficient in math and the 32 schools with zero students proficient in reading. What’s worse, officials end up graduating almost 70 percent of the students in those schools.
Read more from Wirepoints:
- Education fail: Not a single child tested proficient in math in 67 Illinois schools. For reading, it’s 32 schools.
- The well-educated are fleeing Illinois, too
- Publishers of op-eds by CTBA’s Ralph Martire on immigration should start checking his facts
- Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy and others draw attention to Illinois’ dismal education results
Audio and summary 
If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
$24,000/yr X 13 years of school = $312,000. No readers, no writers. No ciphering. Two or three times in the course of their matriculation through the system students are tested for proficiency. Yet, no one catches the deficiencies. Time to test the teachers. Time to offer cash to the child’s supervising adult to shop elsewhere, renewal annually only upon successful completion of a proficiency test. While we are at it, call it reparations for slavery. Otherwise, productive citizens and successful businesses may start to leave, taking their tax dollars elsewhere. All will become chaotic. Oh wait…that sounds far fetched!
This is the plan.
Keep them stupid so they go on welfare and then they vote democrat to keep the free stuff.
OR, maybe that this generation just is not very smart. IQ testing should correlate to lower test scores. Is the IQ of Chicago going down ?
Yes, this generation’s IQ is lower. There’s not a ton of research into this because it’s controversial, but recent studies out of Europe show that asylum seekers and economic migrants substantially lower IQ’s than natives. The studies are all woke and try to say that IQ doesn’t measure intelligence, IQ isn’t predictive of anything, etc. This is analogous to the United States, where children are a majority-minority, most of whom are first or second generation, and we have the highest percentage of foreign born people in our history. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8115459/ However, this is not an excuse. Everyone of these children can… Read more »
This is the kinda feel good cr#p they post on CapFax from a couple days ago, (I think WP posted):

To begin with it is a “study” that fits within the assorted “studies” that so often seem tailored to a certain outcome. Next it is restricted to English and language arts that are so often subjectively graded as opposed to the objective grading generally used in Science and Math classes. Considering the sources why does the headline not surprise me?
Pick any % improvement over zero readers and the answer is still zero.
TELLS YOU HOW UNQUALIFIED THE TEACHERS ARE………THEY SPEND MORE TIME STRIKING THEN TEACHING!!
Something tells me that this doesn’t happen in China.
