Ted joined Jeff Daly to discuss Wirepoints’ new 2023 school district report cards and why so many students are failing reading and math, why only 8 out of every 100 students are able to read in Decatur, why educator pay and benefits should be tied to student proficiency, why every Illinoisan is paying for $8 million in pension benefits for a New Trier superintendent, the details of the 2025 budget, and more.

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.
This is intentional, they want stupid kids because stupid kids grow up and vote democrat. Also the money spent doesnt make it to the kids, it pays for an overbloated administrative state. Also look at the user Pensions Paid First, hes dumb as a brick and perfect example of a moron.
Let me add that a lot of stupid kids grow up and vote republican.
Polls show that doesn’t happen in anymore. In fact, they become more radicalized towards the left.
This isn’t a case of people not wanting to support education. Clearly the money is being spent. This is a case of a terrible return on investment, and the Dems should be held accountable. They have wasted billions and produced next to nothing. Jabba the Putz has been in office long enough to know that he isn’t capable of fixing the problem. Throw the bums out.
“return on investment”—that’s good, that’s what we’re all looking for all are hard earned tax $. Thanks
Money well spent per PPF. Teaching is one hard job that an private sector worker could never do.
Private sector workers put in 240 days per year, Teacher put in 180 days a year. Private sector gets zero pension at age 67, public sector gets them somewhere between age 50 to 55.
Private sector would go bankrupt if the performed like the teachers do.
An old saying ” you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink “
True. Another old saying: “Don’t keep paying the same guy to lead your horse to water if your horse is dying of thirst”.
The democrats have improved that saying
To , “ you can lead a dead horse to water
But you can’t make it drink!”
