My mom was about to send me to Catholic school if I didn't get into an SE school. My neighborhood school was bad as hell, I had friends from my grade school tell me stories all the time. Frequent fights, kids pulling fire alarm to go out and fight, gangs, drug dogs, metal detectors, clear backpack policy. Some kids I know that went to that school have been in and out of Cook County jail and one kid got stabbed to death on some gang shyt.I was lucky with selective enrollment and got away from Clemente.Can't agree with getting rid of the opportunity outright. Almost 80% picked somewhere other than the local? Seems like a popular process.
You can't learn in that environment. If they get rid of SE schools then people with kids are just going to move out of the city if they can't afford Catholic school.

This is probably to battle a lot of schools were closing due to low enrollment, but instead of making the schools better you want Whitney young and south shore to become shytty

We're on the blood path now
Are we living in a socialist society now? When has America ever been about equity in scholastic achievement? I'm not talking about race, that's another subject. But not having selective enrollment schools is very counterintuitive of a capitalist, free market society that values competition. We are going to get left behind by the other countries. In the next 20 years we are going to see the adverse affects of fukking up educational funding and the impact of outdated (and unauthentic) curriculums on American society as a whole.

He seems phony. I mean I guess that goes with the territory, but I don't get what hard about responding to the questions asked instead of barking about what their perceived angle is.
Deflection tactic.
He pulled a similar maneuver last year when being questioned about gun violence around the city.

conservative politics from white flight in the 70s is why you see the shyt that you see now.
Taking out another high interest rate loan to cover current costs will only lead to more future debt.....compounded debt.
