Of the regression that we've seen, Chicago Public Schools, for instance, there was a graph that we had that showed the amount of money increased between 2013 and 2024 as being 97% increase. And yet The decline in academics, specifically in reading and arithmetic, dropped to as much as 73% below grade. Wow. That shows that something's missing. We're putting money into the system. We're putting money into superintendent's pocketbooks. We're putting money into trips and all of the rest. (05:38–05:48)
