Few of them will have good jobs, some of them will get into crime and at best some of them may be productive, but not very productive. It&rsquo;s just not a good situation.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/just-in-floyd-county-georgia-terminates-election-director-after-statewide-audit-discovers-uncounted-votes\/\" title=\"JUST IN: Floyd County, Georgia Terminates Election Director After Statewide Audit Discovers Uncounted Votes\">county&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s 53,925 public high school students, statistics show 71.1% of students failed the ELA portion of the exam.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Parents are going to solve it themselves by leaving the city if we don&rsquo;t address it,&rdquo; Dabrowski added. &ldquo;Then we just become worse and worse for it.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>With students able to receive proficiencies ranging from partially met, approaching, meets and exceeds standards, 67.7% of students across the state failed the English portion of the state exam with the overall failure rate rising in 90 Cook County high schools.<\/p>\n<p>Dabrowski said he can think of one reason why lawmakers would have allowed such a flawed system to fester for so long.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They won&rsquo;t do anything because they&rsquo;re supported by the teacher&rsquo;s unions and the teacher&rsquo;s union doesn&rsquo;t want to be exposed,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;The politicians have the power and the unions have all the money, so nobody wants to upset the cookie jar. I think it&rsquo;s one of the biggest hoodwinking of parents there is where so many of our kids can&rsquo;t read at grade level, the schools are failing and yet the school officials graduate all these kids. Everything&rsquo;s working for them, but it&rsquo;s certainly not working for the kids and the families.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Dabrowski said he&rsquo;s hopeful the movement toward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bill-barr-militantly-secularist-government-caused-public-school-disaster\/\" title=\"Bill Barr: &#039;Militantly Secularist Government&#039; Caused Public School &#039;Disaster&#039;\">universal school choice<\/a> will continue to build, giving students and parents more choices about where they end up.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Universal school choice is happening everywhere and it&rsquo;s surrounding Illinois,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;At some point, we&rsquo;re going to have to buckle to that pressure and join because it&rsquo;s the only right thing to do, give parents and kids the choice to pick the school that&rsquo;s best for them.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The SAT test is administered to Illinois high school students during their second year as part of an effort to keep tabs on their readiness and preparedness moving forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1924098\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1924098\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Analyst warns poor SAT scores indicate troubling future for Illinois students<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2384789,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/iStock-468080339-1024x683.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[5152,6413,21295,4072],"class_list":["post-2384788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-education","tag-illinois","tag-sat","tag-students"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/iStock-468080339-1024x683.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384788","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2384788"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384788\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2384792,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384788\/revisions\/2384792"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2384789"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2384788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2384788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2384788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
