Breitbart: Chicago Public Schools will soon require students graduating from high school to show proof of what they plan to do after graduation.
Students graduating from any public high school in Chicago must show proof of a job offer, an acceptance letter to college, an apprenticeship for a trade, enlistment in the military, or a gap year program, the Washington Post reported.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who got the idea from former Obama Education Secretary Arne Duncan, said he wants the third-largest school system in the U.S. not only to guide students through K-12 schooling but also guide them to their paths post-graduation.
“We are going to help kids have a plan, because they’re going to need it to succeed,” he said. “You cannot have kids think that 12th grade is done.”
Chicago’s Board of Education approved the requirement in May, and it will take effect beginning in 2020, making Chicago’s school system the first large city school district to require high school graduates to have post-graduation plans. read more
Bullshit.
Here’s my post graduation plan, I’m going to get a job, which I am not going to show you ANY proof of, and everyday after work, I’m going to park my butt in front of Rahm Emmanuel’s house with a giant sign that says, “F*ck You, Rahm! I live in America!”
I plan on robbing the Bank of America on the corner of Wabash, and killing some hostages. And spending the rest of my life in jail. Getting my college degree in Library Science.
All the govt wants is proof of application for welfare. How about the olde-fashioned idea of not letting them graduate if they FAILED.
Me an Nee Nee, Lil J, gon start us a crack syndicate. Be makin more money then you bitches. Now gimmie my diploma, I get somebody to read it to me.
The fed already requires this for high school sp. ed. kids with IEPs. But this ain’t that. There is graft, probably kickbacks, involved here somewhere. Scam.
So, Chicago believes they have a legally enforceable possessory interest in those young adults?
I would have thought that ended with the Thirteenth Amendment.
This stupidity is going to make lots of law firms a huge pile of money.
Malia Obama is proudly taking a ‘gap’ year to party and publicly smoke dope. Only okay for elitists?
Next: Acceptable grad plans vs not acceptable. Control is the only reason, unless there is money involved, for this scheme.
I wanna be a midnight basketball player.
Post graduation steps:
#1. Leave Chicago
#2. Leave Illinois
#3. Acquire education and experience elsewhere
#4. Forget my Chicago Illinois past
#5. Opportunities become available
#6. Follow an opportunity
Daddy is a big Democrat contributor, I’ll get a no-bid contract and a no show (ghost) city position where 10% is kicked back to the Chicago Ward Committeeman.
Wuts a plan?
The irony is in the treatment the kids have been given the past 13 years. Crappy education, then a demand that you show you have a promising future? All you can do is laugh – at them, not with them. And get the hell out if you actually care about your future.
C- Senior: Dad, I’m thinkin’ a goin’ into organized crime. Lotta money in that.
Dad: Government or private sector?
C- Senior: Not sure, whadda you think?
Dad: Government son, they never go to jail.
I’m smelling an up coming Class Action law suite against the Chicago’s Board of Education for non performance.
What are your plans if you are able to graduate middle school, Dequan?
I plan to join a gang over the summer and be dead in six months.
I vow to remain in Chicago and continue my higher education studies in dodging bullets.
I plan to get a degree in Poli-Sci, and run for your office. After I win, I’ll see you’re prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
I be bangin den too. Now git out ma fuckin face dog!
Ummmmmmm, doesn’t the school system have an obligation to graduate students at a functional level of accomplishment? When was the last time the Chicago school system actually failed a kid for non performance and was made take the grade over again? Doesn’t that have to happen first before you axe barely functional idiots whut their future plans look like?
The must be proud of having a sprinkling of students that actually lasted until high school without a toe tag. The extent of the students range of skills are limited to a calculator and weight scales.
No proof of literacy requirement.
“No proof of literacy requirement.”
Well Hell, how else you expect us to keep them voting Democrat for a hundred years?
More busy-body idiocy from the left. The only thing it will produce is some clever BS post-graduation plans. Who gets to approve the plans? The leftist political indoctrination machine.
Gee, that’s gonna cause a lot of red tape. Someone will have to process the forms, determine each form’s validity, perform follow-up assessments in 6 months to see if each plan is actually being pursued, etc. Where will the school board find all the extra manpower to accomplish such a monumental ta— Well, looky here! I just found a whole mess of new high school graduates looking for jobs!
It’s amazing how some problems just fix themselves.
Gon down gonna get me my’s ebt card YO!
How do you. Prove the future? These administrators are all special needs.
