Morphine Prince 110,023 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Under a controversial new requirement, starting in 2020, students hoping to graduate from a public high school in Chicago must provide evidence they, too, have a plan for the future: either acceptance to college or a gap-year program, a trade apprenticeship, military enlistment or a job offer.

venusfly 17,885 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I don't understand what this is supposed to achieve surely if someone is stuck on what to do you provide more help rather than revoke everything they have worked their entire lives until that point to.

FATCAT 60,982 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 At face value, this seems like a good way to get students to look forward to their futures, but it's stupid to make it a requirement to graduate. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALGAYDO 35,520 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Wait... So, let's say someone is on track to graduate high school and all that jazz, but if they have no intention of going to college/military, or have no current job offer, then what? Do they just not graduate? Even if they fulfilled all class/grade requirements?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 In theory this may make sense, but in no way does this cover students who are privileged enough to get into high education, etc. At the very least this means that students would have to get a minimum wage paying job. But is Chicago willing/alble to gives thousands of jobs to graduating students every year? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like this is trying to get students to work harder in school, but it still doesn't make sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GloZell Green 11,723 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Thank God I'm graduating beforehand. Absolutely useless. There are still people who have no idea what they're gonna do after high school. Rahm has been destroying this city ever since he entered office.
