11% of black students in Chicago can read while teachers make $100,000

You try too hard with the constant satire posts....Two today already.....Very little else.

And one of them was about education.

It was about a Yale graduate who could not find a job because all he knew how to do was chant "Free Palestine".

Pretty much sums up the state of public education in the US today.

And who cares? Those that do, like maybe Trump, there is an army of Federal judges to stop him from doing anything to improve it.

If you can't stop them, then mock them.

They deserve nothing but constant derision from here on out as the education system spirals the drain

All metrics of public education is worse ever since the Department of Education was created.

I knew a woman who taught at New Trier High School on the North Side of Chicago. Retired making $142,000 a year. She had a man problem the size of Montana.

LOL.....They might have better luck shifting some pay from the teachers to the students.

Talk about a total cluster f**k......FUBAR teacher union culture collides with FUBAR black culture.

That said, how many here would willingly subject themselves to Chicago school students for $100k?

-now it doesn't sound like quite so much, does it?

As far as I know teachers are not eligible for Social Security.

Depends on the state, whether government school teachers are required to pay into social security varies across the Fruited Plain.

Parochial school teachers who are nuns and priests don't get paid at all, so they don't pay into and can't receive SS benefits.

And that is not much in the Chicago area, more expensive districts likely pay more (but only after tenure), but one can only imagine what inner city school teachers have to deal with, most of those teachers deserve high praise for their efforts teaching daily in this environment, instead, they are mocked and ridiculed.

I don't think Illinois teachers pay into SS, and am not interested enough to Google.

"Effort" isn't what determines what an employee deserves in praise and competition, its the teachers' actual achievements.

And there is where the Chicago teachers are failing.

You don't think?

You don't even know, do you?



Kids may not learn how to read in school, but they do know the 2543 new genders the Left created last week and that guns are bad, unless the said guns are used on fascist health care executives or on Trump, both of whom are predetermined to be guilty of pretty much everything Hitler related, but I think that is only common sense.

They do pay in to the State retirement fund...

9% is taken out of their salaries to pay in to it.

The system is being rightly mocked.

It's a system that is bloated with administrators, that has money thrown at it in bundles, and constantly fails to provide services in proportion to the money thrown at it.

And teacher's salary compensation isn't their entire cost, considering their pension contributions and benefits added.

Those cost money as well.

It is flat out ridiculous.

Who would have thunk 50 years ago that democrats would be forcing little girls to use the same bathroom as boys?

Who would have thunk that kids in school would be pulled out of class time to go protest guns and climate change?

Who would have thunk that children would be taught the gender cult as gender confusion has risen some 4000% ever since the started?

Who would have thunk that the FBI would be used to go after parents who are upset about any of the crap listed above?

And who would have thunk that the Left and the Left wing colleges would tolerate students saying "Gas the Jews" as they hide Jewish students in the college attics?

Sick, sick, sick!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meanwhile, every metric of education goes down every year.

Burn it all down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why listen to known liars from MAGAT?

In Chicago Public Schools (CPS), while reading proficiency has shown improvement, a significant number of students still struggle to meet grade-level standards. The 2023-24 Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) results indicate that 30.5% of CPS students in grades 3-8 met or exceeded expectations on the English Language Arts (ELA) exam, a rise of 4.6 percentage points compared to the previous year, but still below pre-pandemic levels.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Proficiency Rates:
  While the most recent data shows a positive trend, only 30.5% of CPS students in grades 3-8 are considered proficient in reading.
  
  
• Post-Pandemic Recovery:
  CPS has seen a return to pre-pandemic reading proficiency levels, indicating a significant recovery from the disruptions caused by the pandemic.
  
  
• • Need for Continued Improvement:
    Despite the gains, a large percentage of CPS students (approximately two-thirds) remain below grade level in reading, highlighting the need for continued efforts to improve student achievement.
  • Factors Contributing to the Challenge:
    Several factors contribute to the challenge, including socioeconomic disparities, the impact of the pandemic on learning, and the need for increased resources and support for students and schools.
  • Emphasis on Early Intervention:
    Addressing literacy gaps early on, through targeted interventions and support, is crucial to ensuring that all students reach their full potential.

The goal of a poor education system is to keep their voters stupid and broke.

Problem is, too many blacks are getting better educated and becoming better informed, and that is why Democrats are bringing millions of non-English speaking foreigners in to fill the void.

A good solution is to never vote Democrat again.

Then maybe these criminals that infest the DNC will go back to bar-tending.

No matter how board Stain spin it, ROI is not there in lifetime liberal takeover cities like CHI BALT STL etc.

As far as I know teachers are not eligible for Social Security. I'll never forget a retired teacher telling me many years ago (15 at least) that he was shocked by the number of increases he received to his pension, and what stood out was when he said "I don't know where this state gets the money", and that's it, the state does not have the money, that's why taxes are excessive in Illinois.

The real killer is the police and firefighter unions, they get hurt, they can start their pension early, otherwise, they can retire after 20 and get huge increases in their pensions over time. If you retire in your early 40's your pension could be massive.

And, of course, all the politicians get the same.

My daughter is a retired teacher collecting a full pension plus will start collecting SS, which she paid into, next year. She will be bringing in about $6500 per month between both.

What are their students stats? Perhaps they actually earn it? Not too many black students in those rich white neighborhoods.
