- Elgin’s Tony Sanders promoted to Illinois State Superintendent, though just 2 in 10 students in his district can read at grade level.
- Gov. Pritzker just proclaimed Illinois Disaster Declarations numbers 39, 40 and 41 through May 11, when he said his Emergency Orders will finally end
- Rep. Sean Casten’s proposal to strip Supreme Court of constitutional review authority is a ‘crackpot,’ universally ridiculed idea
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.
Is he being annointed because he’s a fruit?
They’re creating future rioters.
Professional education administrators are teachers who couldn’t teach so going into that office job was a better fit and they then could ruin more.
What is scary is this superintendent and failed administrative team have doomed these poor kids to a life of illiteracy, numeracy and poverty. There is a special place in h**l for them.
innumeracy
At least express your rebuttal using proper and complete syntax, mqyl. You might have written, ‘the correct antonymic form of mathematical literacy would be innumeracy’ or something to that effect. An idiot expresses its ideas in fragments or might respond with one word. Are you a dolt, mqyl?
Now go back to failing your students, smart aleck.
Less than 15% of students are proficient in math and/or reading in 5th grade district wide average. The “leadership” are past ripe and need to go. Stop hiring for nepotism. Total arrogance with ineptitude is a dangerous mix.
Outrageous, but consistent with the performance, over decades, of IL/Chicago political CIG (corrupt; incompetent; greedy) class. Key Il/Chicago political metrics continue to consistently remain at the bottom. Still shocking and disgusting tho.
Time for vouchers instead.
Rewarded for incompetence. Just wait for these 11th graders to become elected officials. It stays the same because we are all happy with it Right! All good , nothing to see here
No one in education cares about education. They are only in it for the money.
