J.D. Busch at Chicago Contrarian brings us a story of education that has some hope. Escape From Chicago Schools: A Real-Life Case Study
His middle school student was coming home from school indoctrinated with Che Guevara, and not reading or doing math at grade level. So he yanked his kid out of a failing private school.
My now 8th grader, formerly a student at a Chicago private school that worked its way into the “wrong headlines” for going woke, has gone from academic roadkill (pushed along and told he was “doing fine”) to a full-blown scholar-athlete.
Instead of race theory and micro-aggression, his kids are studying real academia subjects.
Click thru for the details.
Pulling my younger kids out of Chicago schools not only saved their education and prevented the woke mind virus from infecting their neurons, it also nuked the whole “drug dealer chic” aesthetic right out of their lives. Gone are the Stizzy-fueled Secret Santas and whispered cafeteria debates over the pros and cons of edibles versus spliffs that took place at Lane Tech, where my oldest graduated.
Now their backpacks are packed with creatine, kombucha, and maybe a stray Gatorade (sorry, RFK Jr., I’m still working on that).
And so here we are. My kids are thriving at two new schools (one day, one boarding) where discipline still matters and teachers don’t consult Ibram X. Kendi for their syllabi, and the only “activist” around is a guy picketing the price of livestock feed at Tractor Supply near the playing fields.
It is the first article about education that gives me hope which I have read in a very long time.
