Inner city chicago school sends 100% of seniors to college

That's fucking amazing. It's good to see some inner city school actually caring about their students instead of just giving up on them.
 
107 kids? thats a pretty tiny school by CPS standards. i was in the suburbs, not in the city, and my graduating class was like 6 times that.

sorry but im skeptical as to how well that will work when applied to full size schools, not prep schools like this one.

"Additionally, the model of Urban Prep should be applied across the nation"

nope. schools differ so much across this country, what works great in chicago isnt gonna work in rural montana.

finally, my real question is, were these kids thought how to think critically? how to question? how to actually continue learning through life? or just taught the skills to pass tests and get into colleges.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

damn schroedinger. and his stupid cat.

but back to the thread topic.

this charter school is NOTHING like the average inner city school.

they have smaller classes, this is clear since their graduating class was minuscule compared to most Chicago public schools

they often have longer school days, or school years. this allows them to teach the curriculum at a slower, more relaxed pace, giving students time to ask questions, and really grasp it. public schools meanwhile rush through the curriculum and often dont finish in time, with anything thats missed just being forgotten.

competitive admission, or selective admission, also makes it easier to find the students that will succeed, and leave others by the wayside.

i also wonder about parent involvement. this is a KEY issue with the failure of many schools in poor districts, the fact that the student may never even see the parent, and is often filling the role of the parent at home.
 
i actually bought a book on that stupid cat the other day
and yes, this is not a normal school, and why is everyone so amazed that black people can goto college?
 
because they have managed to break through major class and racial barriers. only something like 15% of african americans make it into college.
 
its not the fact that black people got into college. its the fact that only 5 or 6 of those 107 kids could read at a ninth grade level when they started in that high school and now every single one of them is going to college.
