Teachers in the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) district have claimed that they were instructed to pass illegal migrant students during the most recent school year, regardless of their academic performance.


According to a report from WGN Radio, several elementary school teachers stated that they were told to give migrant students a 70 percent grade in each subject and promote them to the next grade, even if they did not meet the necessary academic criteria.

These teachers further noted that many of the migrant students did not speak English, and the teachers themselves did not speak Spanish, making it nearly impossible to actually teach the necessary lessons. According to WGN News’ Sylvia Snowden, one teacher described how she used Google Translate and relied on the school’s Spanish teacher in order to communicate with her migrant student “for the entire year.”

What does not being able to communicate have to do with not making illegals look bad?

Language doesn't matter. Connerie est mierda es bullsh*t.
It all has the same smell and texture.

Mark Twain said, "Never let your schooling interfere with your education".
(That quote got me kicked out of English class in High School)

In the name of equity, though, no one should get under a 70, and no one should know the material. Sounds like common corpse education to me. No child's left behind.
