Amazing work by CPS Dad Jakob Ondrey and deep respect to him for his pursuit of transparency.

His research exposes the dubious nature that CPS approaches our own schools. Their numbers were wrong (Read here in the CST). And he had to catch it. They would not have ever said a thing.

For some reason, perhaps misled, perhaps nefarious, or perhaps just not with any malice but just plain ignorance of a new standard of a new generation further and further from their own, CPS has a sustained habit of misleading the Chicago public for motivations that bear striking resemblance to those other than pursuit of a more perfect Childrens’ education.
