This is an admission that Chicago's public schools are inadequate to prepare youth to enter the workforce by the time they are 18 years old. Maybe if we cut out teaching courses in gender-anything, and focused on arithmetic, basic computer skills, as well as reading and writing in the King's English, the kids would fare better. This plan is sure to cause kids who are marginal performers to give up completely and quit school without a HSD.

It's time to admit that the 100+ year experiment called "public education" was a mistake. It was always more about socialist/communist indoctrination than education. Close the schools. Sell the buildings. Private schools will organize and buy them. Life will not end without public schools. Education will quickly improve as the new schools compete for students. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Our district had a "13th year" program. Students were supposed to have a plan and a fall back plan. The teachers had to call in a year and see how the student was doing. You could pretty much predict how they would do. “ The work of destruction is quick, easy and exhilarating; the work of creation is slow, laborious and dull. | |||

Not to mention (if I understand) keeping them for 2 years longer. And what is that asinine statement that regular high school no longer meets student's needs, they need two more years? Typical chitcago BS. Nothing works there and the typical libtard answer is to throw more money at it with no change in requirements for those providing the services. Were I mayor there, the school system would be cleaned out, getting rid of a lot of teachers and more "administrators". And if the union didn't like it, tough shit. They are not getting their jobs done, so out they go. I wonder what the average education level for shitcago school system teacher might be. And can they pass a basic English writing/reading test?

Try your hand at this 1912 8th grade high school entrance exam, and remember this was a test for a 13 year old kid. 1912 High School Entrance Exam The more Liberals lower the bar for graduating to the next level, the longer it will take for the student to reach a level of education suitable for entering the workplace. I was shocked to learn in 1976 that at "college," if you showed up for every class, handed in every assignment, took every test, and participated in class, you would pass the class regardless of what grades you earned. It was a stark opposite of the schools I had attended in the more Conservative areas of the country. I asked one of my professors about it, and he explained, "Well, it just wouldn't be right to fail a student like that who made such a sincere effort!" Way back in 1976, Liberal professors were making decisions based on feelings rather than rules, logic, etc. Rahm's real agenda is not to equip these young people with the skills needed to live a decent life. His real agenda is to further indoctrinate them into pliable socialist puppets. | |||

Perhaps in some colleges, but the University of MD was certainly not that way. I graduated in 1977, with 3.98 GPA and earned every damned bit of it. Maybe because I was very selective about the classes I took and my choice of majors. I had VA student friends, as I was, And none of us had any "gimme" courses. I spent a LOT of time studying late at night. I took all my classes before noon, as I was working 60+ hours a week for IBM and usually didn't get home until about 0100. Then do my studies and homework, catch a couple hours of sleep, get up and go to class. When I graduated I had a major human resource (people) management, a second major in Production Management, a minor in Economics. And an AA in accounting. I have seen some of the crap that high schools hand out to their 12th year students. Back before dirt when I was in junior high school any one of us in the 7th grade could have aced every test that the seniors in a "premier" school here in Manassas could not pass.

Elk, I have absolutely no doubt that your education was real and you had to have both the intelligence and the commitment to achieve your degree. MY experience was in the PRK (The Peoples Republic of Kalifornia). I grew up in a very Conservative area of the country, then shortly before graduating from High School, I moved with my parents to this godforsaken state. My point was to show how Liberalism has ruined education, and most Liberal cancers usually originate in this state. By 1976, the schools were already ruined here. | |||

So, this applies to what, maybe fifteen kids? Think about the incentives being set up here here....if you want to get that high school diploma, but have no prospects, go out and get yourself a criminal record so you qualify for the exemption. | |||
