Chicago
Mayor Rahm Emanuel made a speech in Washington DC touting the achievements of
the Chicago Public Schools. It was a
good speech hyping the many type of schools parents can choose for their
children. However Mayor Rahm Emanuel did
not say much about the 25 percent of the students
in his city are never going to be anything, never going to amount to anything. These are
the public school students that may become Chicago’s future neighborhood criminals.
In 2012 Mayor Rahm Emanuel told Chicago Teacher's Union President Karen Lewis “25 percent of the students in this city are never going to be anything, never going to amount to anything and he is never going to throw money at it." This is the challenge for public school systems that have large numbers of low income students who are not motivated and have overwhelmed or indifferent parents. America’s States and Cities would rather push these students out of their school system and into their prison system. Knowing that their parents and their community are too overwhelmed and indifferent to demand that their political officials redirected funds to create an education model for students that seem destined for a life of failure.

You’ve got to have three things, an involved parent, a teacher that will
motivate you and a principal that will be held accountable.
