Nine blanks, eight answers.
You consider a program to be from the 'outside' when it is being funded by the board or any of their many consorts?
This is like UNO claiming they are 'building' new schools.
Read Board Reports, Alexander.

UNO is doing bad rehab projects on those buildings, not building new schools. UNO's Marquez school has a green roof. That's GREAT! The only problem is that it is a green roof with CACTUS plants on it. Cactus plants outside in Chicago. Great Choice!!!!!
Kind of makes you think about what they are doing to our children.

"Building", "rehabbing", "adaptive reuse". . . whatever you want to call it. I think the point is that UNO is opening up "new" schools to alleviate overcrowding in Hispanic neighborhoods where CPS hasn't been able to or just plain won't. Keep up the good work UNO. We need you in our northside neighborhood too.

Clearly UNO has developed a spambot to defeat your filters, Alexander. They troll for any mention of their name on your site, and automatically generate this propaganda.
I agree, O&O; where UNO is concerned, 'building', 'rehabbing', etc. are all code for the same thing; payment for prostitution.

Strange thread. Lately I have noticed many strange threads that seem to move off the topic. This blog has been getting boring and weird. Since Catalyst took over it has been significantly less interesting, more hung up on teacher union issues, and a whole lot less fun.
Let's work on this.

Your schools are about as authentic as movie sets, offered in areas that were neglected and overcrowded years before the first parents fasted in the park. These communities have been cheated and shorted for decades, and then are offered substandard rote factories.
This is the kind of propaganda McDonald's would engineer if it were legal; starve customers for days, then offer their crap food and craft ads on how the customers wolfed them down.
George, you asked a few months back about the dearth of CPS representation at the American Educational Research Association; I think it's because they know that none of the boondoggles they've been palming off as 'innovation' would get past any IRB on the planet.
How would these idiotic projects pass any entity charged with ensuring that the subjects of their research are not harmed?

"...How would these idiotic projects pass any entity charged with ensuring that the subjects of their research are not harmed?..." (Being Counter).
Yeah, I know. That's absolutely true. I couldn't afford to get to AERA (which is going on this week, by the way, in New York City) but hope that we hear from somebody on this blog about how many papers at AERA were presented by CPS "research" and "demographics" people, given the fact that it was these two groups (aided and abetted by the lawyers) that provided the underlying rationales for the recent 18 school closings and other attacks.
CPS now has a steady stream of "research" chiefs who were, in fact, political commissars (gauleiters they were called during another kind of tyranny) -- Phil Hansen; Dan Bugler; Ginger Reynolds. Each makes sure the "data" that drives the CPS "data driven management" systems are spun just to fit the CPS agenda for any particular year.
Anyone with a day to spare and some maps could have seen through the lies underlying the claims of "demographics" on "underutilization". This was especially true in the context of CPS today -- viz., leaving out the charter schools; ignoring the "small schools" policies; spinning the count to ignore classrooms dedicated to special needs population.
But the most amazing spin was done on behalf of the racist attack by Alderman Doherty and his more benighted constituents against Edison. On that one, Arne Duncan and Jimm Dispensa would have fit right into the white supremacists of the 1890s, helping spin things to force out the last public school in that part of town to have a significant number of black kids -- all the while claiming there was no other way to "relieve overcrowding."
I just spent two days in a sort of walkabout from Stock Elementary east to Edgebrook, then south and west again over to Oriole Park (where the AIO claims to live). The most amazing thing, to me, was that CPS got away with claiming (backed by Doherty) that screwing Edison would somehow fix the problem up there.
Fact: there is plenty of public land to build more capactity without screwing Edison (and continuing the eviction of the black children from that part of town; a project that's been going on since Arne Duncan took over). The land west of the Edison building is one example. But the most amazing example is the enormous expanse of public land west of the Oriole Park building.
Finally, there is the simple fact that much of the overcrowding in the elementary schools up there is caused by the fact that the special programs the schools have put into place welcome white children (from just about anywhere) and roll out the "UNWELCOME" mat (as was just evidenced, viciously) to children who are not white.
And that's just the "demographics" from one small part of the recent orgy of mendacity out of Arne Duncan and the Board. Andersen's special education programs? Ignored so that the wealthy real estate speculators in the area could get "LaSalle II." And Arne could claim with a straight face he was putting "exciting new opportunities" in underserved communities. The "community" around Division and Damen is underserved, but not because Andersen was a bad school. It just seems that the latte drinkers whose wishes become Arne Duncan's command have more clout (and more claim on CPS "research") than the much larger number of others.
My walkabout is not yet completed, but it's showing some amazing lies. Anyone could have done it. Each of the AIOs, by the way, is part of these attacks on public education. But the main culprits are the "research" people. That's why it would be good to have them in front of someone trying to do peer review.
But, then, you don't get a "doctorate" in "public policy" by knowing much about statistics or research. Those degrees are precisely designed for the political hacks who will become the next generation of commissars.
