If Illinois truly cared about its students, it would pass school choice reform, writes KayleeDMcGhee. Sadly, the teachers unions and state Dems responsible for driving the system into the ground have a vested interest in making sure that never happens.
he public education system in Illinois is so egregious that families who send their children to its schools might as well not send them at all.
In 2019, just 36% of third grade students were able to read at a grade level, according to the report by Wirepoints, which was highlighted by theeditorial board. Among minority students, that number dropped even further. Just 27% of Hispanic students and 22% of black students in third grade statewide were able to read. And in the worst-performing school districts, such as Macon County, only 2% of black third graders were able to read, and just 1% were able to do math.
Pandemic school closures accelerated the Illinois public education system’s decline, with students in Chicago Public Schools suffering a 70% drop in reading proficiency and an 80% drop in math. How can we fix a system that is so irreparably broken that it not only condemns children to failure year after year after year, but rewards itself for doing so? There is only one solution: Illinois families have to be able to leave the system for good.
