Chicago Contrarian brings us a story of fail. Why Does This Failing Chicago Public School Remain Open?
[The Heritage Foundation's Corey A.] DeAngelis took to his X account to note that Douglass High School was built for 912 students but today has only 28 kids thanks to the number of people moving away each year from Brandon Johnson’s drowning Windy City.
Despite that the school is almost entirely empty and has only a fraction of the number of students it once had, it still doesn't have any kids who can read at grade level. Let that sink in. Not one of its 28 students are proficient at reading.
The staff to student ratio is 1:1 at that school. Now that will include all too many administrators - the bureaucracy is out of control - but the student to teach ratio is low.
So why is the school open? The unions. Why can't anyone read? Because public schools in large cities are not about teaching. They are all about politics and indoctrination.
