Editorial: Illinois pats itself on the back for better student performance — after lowering education standards – Chicago Tribune*

"Illinois deserves credit for making its data public and accessible. But accessibility isn’t the same as honesty. The public deserves a clear explanation that the goalposts have moved — not a misleading victory lap."

Chicago and Il don’t want children educated. They don’t want them to be able to read , think for themselves, or be able to research issues. That way when the kids grow up and become adults, these people will be able to be controlled. Just program AI to give progressive, socialist answers, problem solved. That’s how socialism/ communism works. IL Democrats and CTU do not care about improving education in Chicago or IL. That would defeat their purpose.

And when your children apply to college either in state or out don’t think these colleges aren’t going to check where the graduated from . These colleges are going to judge the grades and school system. They aren’t going to hurt their educational status.

As predicted. Instead of fixing education to improve scores and performance, nah, just change the rules and move the goal post. Then claim victory and improvement. Then strike for more money. That’s next.
