It’s hard to deny just how poorly Chicago’s public schools are performing when it hits you in the face. Such is the case with Paul Robeson High School’s 2014 prom theme: “This is Are Story.”

That image came from veteran investigative reporter Chuck Goudie, who posted this image on his Facebook page.

Some people might enjoy mocking the irony of the gross misuse of vocabulary.

That was a colossal mistake. It should have been “We Be Toys.”

It’s tough for kids to learn at the 12th grade level when their teachers are at the 7th grade level.

Great story. I think it reflects far more government jobs than just teaching.
