After reading this my first thought was. "Will Rham figure out a way to bus kids from suburbs to make up the difference".

I placed this question in "Living" because I think it's less about Politics and more about how we live and order our lives and Society.

Just another example of our failing public education system.

I guess the majority of white students go to private schools or private chater schools which are non-union. Can't blame parents for wanting a better education for their children.

So why aren't Chicago schools and their students shining examples of black students reaching their highest potential?

Well, none of the standard excuses are there. They can't claim they were held back or penalized because of their race. They can't say they felt culturally ignored because there were "so many white people". They can't claim racism on the part of the school board.

With teachers that make $75 grand a year, they should be producing rocket scientists.
