Ted joined Dan and Amy to talk about the systemic failure of Peoria’s school system; how schools can be rated “commendable” when less than a quarter of students can read at grade level; the excuses Peoria’s superintendent has for students’ dismal achievement, including blaming historical racism and classism; why Gov. Pritzker denies the education data that comes from his own Board of Education; and more.

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.
QUESTION???
Does anyone know how to see the curriculum that is being taught in the schools concerning Black studies, Asian Studies, American Indiand Studiens LBGT Studies. How dd o I find out what individual schools are teaching in the classroom.
Does anyone know if the ISBE has developed a study/curriculum that they recommend?
There are no expectations for kids in Peoria schools. Show up everyday or don’t it doesn’t make any difference, teachers still get paid. One of the high schools made it a week before they had an all out brawl and called the cops. That’s only going to get worse as the year progresses. Many students are hired to work part time at small businesses, they are so poorly educated, they ruin those businesses. Illinois is okay giving these students a hand out BUT never a hand up.
That’s what “equity” is to the Left: equal misery and failure. It’s life’s losers that the Left wants to call “victims” so those people will vote Left. The Left are actually enslavers.
This is a triumph of Democrats war on school choice
Do what the private sector does, you do not perform you do not get paid.
The reckoning will be when industries that require skilled employees leave, and ones that might have considered IL pass on the state. Potential employers are well aware of this data, Jumbo Belly’s protets notwithstanding.
This is part of the reason that industries want more migration. It’s not just cheap labor on the low end. It’s skilled labor on the high end. They can’t get skilled labor out of the American school system anymore. The only graduates in the US are low-IQ socialists.
It’s more of a complete Democrat Marxist state. Biggest problem my employer has with semi-skilled/ unskilled hourly labor is finding people who can pass a drug test.
The next step after this is to make these non-educated commie scum into loyal foot soldiers capable of shooting their fellow Americans. If you’re not paying attention to what’s happening in the military with the conservatives being purged, and the missing of recruitment targets by massive margins, and the celebration of globohomo throughout the military, then you’re not paying attention. The US isn’t too concerned about fighting a war with Russia, or China. Our leaders’ only concern right now, is fighting a war against you, deplorable, and they’re going to need as many pink and blue haired they/them commies as… Read more »
You need to focus on our next step, not theirs. Flogging doesn’t improve morale or motivate people.
The flogging will continue until morale improves!
