Chicago Public Schools teachers were instructed by school officials to
give migrant students passing grades and promote them to the next grade,
"even if the students displayed severe academic deficiencies," a new
report claims.

WGN News reported that "multiple" teachers from different schools within
the district reached out to them to expose the troubling trend.

One teacher said she was told to give one of her students a "C" in all her grades and pass her along to the third grade despite testing at
"kindergarten level."

Another teacher revealed that school officials directly told him during a training to promote migrant students to the next grade.

The influx of students who don't speak English has also created
challenges, the teachers said.

According to the report, many migrants have settled in Black neighborhoods where schools are not typically equipped with programs for non-English speakers.

"They've been assigned to teachers or assigned to classrooms where nobody speaks Spanish … so there's a significant language barrier," WGN News'
Sylvia Snowden reported.

One teacher described having to use Google Translate and relying on the
Spanish teacher to translate to communicate with her migrant student "for
the entire year," Snowden said.

According to the city of Chicago, at least 48,000 migrants have been
bussed and flown to The Windy City from the Texas border since August
2022.

Chicago Public Schools CEO Dr. Pedro Martinez told WGN that migrant
students and U.S. students are held to the same academic standards. He
also claimed "over 90%" have bilingual support programs in their schools.

However, Snowden said that Dr. Martinez was not aware of the WGN
investigation when giving those comments.

"However, once confronted with our reporting, a CPS spokesperson
acknowledged in a statement that the district’s promotion guidelines are ‘modified to serve the specialized needs of English Language Learners,’"
WGN reported.

"Chicago Public Schools aims to provide a rigorous, welcoming, inclusive pre-K-12 environment for all students, including those who've newly
arrived in Chicago with their families from around the globe. As a
district, we have high expectations from all students and policies and promotion guidelines in place, that are modified to serve the specialized
needs of our English language learners, and offer in-school, after-school year-round interventions developed with the principal, counselor, teacher
and parents to target the students' assessed learning deficiencies," a CPS spokesperson told WGN News.

The district also claimed that ESL students who enrolled in the school
during the last quarter of the school year were put in summer school
programs to improve their English literacy. Teachers who spoke to WGN
disputed this claim, saying "none" of their students were enrolled in
summer school.

Chicago Public Schools did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

So in essence you are making a high school diploma worthless. As a
consultant I have told HR departments for year to implement reading and
math testing to their final hiring procedures (at least if you want the employee to read, write and do math on the job). Nothing complicated but
how about some basic skills.
