Teachers in Chicago Public Schools (CPS) report being instructed to give passing grades to migrant students, regardless of their actual academic performance, highlighting severe communication barriers due to language differences. With nearly 50,000 migrants arriving in the city since 2022, many schools lack adequate support for non-English speakers, prompting teachers to promote students who perform at significantly lower academic levels. Despite CPS CEO Dr. Pedro Martinez's claims that migrant students are held to the same standards as other students, a CPS spokesperson later acknowledged that guidelines are modified for English Language Learners. The situation has sparked frustration within the local community, particularly among Black residents who feel resources are being diverted from their neighborhoods to accommodate the influx of migrants. Critics argue that the education system's focus on appearances over academic integrity will result in long-term consequences for students' futures. The ongoing strain on city resources due to the migrant crisis has further exacerbated tensions among residents.
