Chicago Public Schools: Can You Spot The Error? --NOBDOY at the school caught it--NOBODY?!!!!

In the “you can’t make this up” file, Paul Robeson High School in Chicago just had its prom and its theme was “This Is Are Story.” Sadly, this isn’t a joke or a bit of intentional irony on the part of the students.

Turns out that Paul Robeson High School is a symptom of a school district that is failing its students. The neighborhood is located in the Englewood neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side, which is one of the poorest and most dangerous neighborhoods in the city.

Just how bad are Chicago Public Schools, they’re this bad:
Four out of 10 CPS freshmen do not graduate. 
If they do graduate, 91 percent have to take remediation courses in college because they do not know how to do basic math and school work. Just 26 percent of CPS high school students are college-ready, according to the ACT subject matter tests.

    WOW! This is sad! At what point do the "teachers unions" take responsibility? I'm very happy that the Federal Courts struck down teachers tenure, even when they're incompetent! I have to take CONTINUING education in order to perform my job. 18 months and these teachers are set for life. BULLCRAP
