Last year, numerous educators at Chicago Public Schools have reported that administrators instructed them to award passing grades to illegal migrant students in spite of them not actually meeting academic standards.
Despite the fact that the students exhibited severe academic deficiencies, several elementary school teachers informed WGN Radio that they were directed by school administrators to grant their migrant students a 70% grade in all subjects and authorize their advancement to the next grade.
To further complicate matters, the elementary school pupils in these teachers’ classes did not speak any English, and the teachers did not speak Spanish.
The institutions did not provide instruction in English as a second language.
Pedro Martinez, the CEO of Chicago Public Schools, confirmed last month that migrant pupils were subjected to the same standards as Chicago’s American students.
Since 2022, nearly 50,000 illegal migrants have arrived in Chicago via bus from the Texas frontier.
Approximately 13,000 newly arrived migrants are presently subject to the city’s financial support for shelter.
The city’s finances have been straining due to the abrupt influx, which has prompted city leaders to scramble for space to accommodate the new arrivals.
The city engaged in a protracted discussion regarding the most effective method of providing warmth to migrants during the winter months.
In the past two years, the city has allocated over $400 million to the migrant crisis, with a significant portion of this investment going to private corporations that provided shelter for the migrants.
Many of the new migrants have established themselves in the predominantly black neighborhoods of Chicago.
The tensions between Chicago’s black community and the newcomers have been set off by the drain on city resources.
