Perhaps you'd like to do some research on your own. Read studies of different education systems. I mentioned it would have be done in cooperation with the federal government, and immediately you come back to say it would have to be done by Chicago.
Get the best minds together and figure out how to improve it. Why does everything have to be mission impossible. Its like people want to give up before they even start.
No ... I said this is a Chicago thread so tell me how it would be done in Chicago.
And, no. I don't want to do research on my own. You seem to have all the answers and know everything about Chicago based on your constant input in this thread. Tell me how this works exactly.
Tell me how having CPS cooperate w/ the federal government and "focus on bringing up kids aka eduation reform" would work exactly.
Give me some concrete ideas. Oh, and since you don't have to throw money at it, let me know how you can do it in Chicago for less than 8 billion a year.
And while we're at it, answer the two questions I asked you earlier in this thread that you never answered:
1. When did you move from Chicago to Florida?
2. What would be good areas in Chicago to raise kids today?
No ... I said this is a Chicago thread so tell me how it would be done in Chicago.

Whatever makes you happy. No one will force you to read anything.
How, you ask: Get the best minds together and figure out how to improve it. Why does everything have to be mission impossible. Its like people want to give up before they even start.
Another poster full of bluster and then poof! ... nothing.
Lets try this for the 3rd time: Get the best minds together and figure out how to improve it. Why does everything have to be mission impossible. Its like people want to give up before they even start.

So you have no ideas.
Got it.
Oh wait, it has something-something to do with pairing with the federal government and yada-yada "bringing up kids education reform".
If it's not mission impossible, you figure it out. It should be so easy - dont' give up before you start.
Since this thread is about Chicago, tell me how Chicago can do it.
They spend almost 8 billion to (sorta) educate 360,000 kids a year.
Tell me about this better education system where they can spend less and have a better result.
Here's how Chicago can do it. Swap out their 360,000 kids with an equivalent number of kids from Tokyo, or Seoul, or Shanghai. Overnight, the city's educational attainment will skyrocket. It'll be even better next year, when the kids learn English. Boom, problem solved.
Sadly, though, someone will probably find some silly reason why this won't work. So I guess we're stuck with what we've got. As for what else we could do, breaking the power of the entrenched teacher's unions would surely help. But the biggest problem is that way too many of the kids don't want to learn, and are often disruptive. If the school administrations were given real power to discipline their trouble makers -- and if they'd actually use that power, instead of cowering before the false idols of "systemic racism" and "disparate impact" and "school to prison pipeline" and all that, maybe they could weed out enough of the trouble makers that the rest of the kids might actually get a chance to be given an education.
And to tie this back into the topic of this thread . . . don't think that the kids don't see what is happening. They're learning to hate the police, and hate white people, and disobey the rules. And they're seeing that people not much older than themselves are doing these things, and getting away with it, and coming back to their neighborhoods with fancy new sneakers that they "liberated" from the Magnificent Mile. If we want to break the cycle of generational criminal behavior, it would help if the group now coming up would see that the laws will be enforced, and that breaking them does not pay. But sadly, they're learning the exact opposite.

or import them from the slums of India: true poverty and won't speak a word of English AND they will also have more "melanin" than the Blacks in Chicago. Those slum dog Indians will still bring drastic improvements in the Chicago School system.
