An alarming report has revealed that dozens of Chicago schools claim no students are proficient in either math or reading despite the state and federal government funneling billions of dollars into education in the Windy City.
to discuss the report and how parents and lawmakers in the city can help children excel in the classroom post-pandemic.
Statewide, there were 53 schools that reported no students who were proficient in math; another 30 schools reported zero students who were able to read at grade level. But even the authors of the Wirepoints report, Ted Dabrowski and John Klingner, pushed back against that narrative, noting that 2019 levels were not significantly better than the data from 2022.
"I don't know that it's fair to lay this all at the feet of teachers. I think there are other factors," Preston said. "There are a lot of children that are facing homelessness that are not attending classes regularly. There are a number of factors in addition to that … a lot of these children are coming from poverty-stricken communities."
"I think there's more that we can glean from this is what I'm getting at," Preston said. "We have to figure out why. Is it just the teachers? I think if it's just the teachers, then we have an issue, but I don't think that's the case here. This is stemming from a larger issue in Chicago overall."
