Is there a link between an utter lack of education for "students" and crime?
Perhaps. But in Chicago, there is a crime problem with the schools themselves.
...Of [Chicago Public Schools’] 478 stand-alone “traditional” schools, one-third of them, 150, are less than half-full, according to the school district. The 20 most empty CPS schools are only 5% to 25% full and most have abysmal educational outcomes, with proficiency percentages in the single digits.
Manley High School has a capacity of 1,296 students but just 64 students are enrolled. There, 2% are proficient in reading and 1% in math. Just 44 students attend Douglas High School that has a capacity of 888 and their reading and math proficiency are both 0%. The list goes on....
...That’s in a school system that spends an astonishing $28,000 per student to cover the district’s operating, capital and debt costs, a spending number which has doubled since 2013, as we reported earlier.
It’s in a system that graduates 84% of its students though only about a quarter can read or do math at grade level.
And it’s in a system that rates the portion of its teachers as “proficient or excellent” at 100%. That’s correct, 100%....
That's probably the most massive theft-by-fraud ever pulled in US history.
And it's the Teachers' Union.
