THIS IS ‘ARE’ STORY: A Prom Proves Chicago Teachers Could Be As Dumb As Their Kids
Clash Daily ^ | 6/11/14

Posted on 06/11/2014 2:04:44 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

This picture of a prom ticket for a Chicago High School proves that the school has a serious problem. Paul Robeson High School is in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago and is one of the poorest and most dangerous schools in the city. See below via EAG News:

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.

But unless the organizers of the prom festivities planned the wording this way as a joke, there’s nothing funny about the situation.

Paul Robeson High School is located in the Englewood neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side, one of the poorest and most dangerous neighborhoods in the city. The high school also is part of the failing Chicago Public Schools, or CPS, system.

Four out of 10 CPS freshmen do not graduate.

If they do graduate, 91 percent have to take remediation courses in college because they do not know how to do basic math and school work. Just 26 percent of CPS high school students are college-ready, according to the ACT subject matter tests.

“ Ode to the Spell Checker!”

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore too long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

Start taking kids aside at graduation at random and giving them a 10 question test straight from their finals. If they fail it, arrest the teacher for fraud and possibly contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

I am dead serious.

Nobody cares about grammer any more. Its given little to know priority in the schools and the students could care less. Their just going threw the motions anyway. Its a loosing preposition.

"The teachers' union bears no portion of the blame, I'm sure. "

Just shows that they're overworked and need a raise.

How fitting that this school is named for Paul Robeson, commie extrodinaire.

Here, Robeson sings a Stalinist anthem:

Song of the Homeland (1942)

“I see the problem. It should read, “This BE Are Story”.”

If you want to get technical, this should be “This is be are story”.

Obviously, more money is needed for this poor school. Send lots.
