Willie Wilson: What should Chicago and Illinois leaders do in 2025? – Chicago Tribune*

"Gov. JB Pritzker and state leaders should put guardrails in place to protect students and Chicago taxpayers from a hostile takeover of the school system by the CTU and (Mayor Brandon) Johnson, its former employee. ... In 2025, Johnson, the Board of Education and the new CEO must ensure all students are reading and doing math at grade level. The school board should end the policy of social promotion."

Whatever Illinois leaders(?) do, you can virtually guarantee it will be the wrong, politically expedient decision.

JB and BJ don’t care about Il students. They just promote to the next grade and graduate them even though students can’t read or do math. They just care about the promotion and graduation rates. In June JB will be bragging about graduating rates even though those rates are inflated and unearned.
