The problems accruing to the CPS school system whether self imposed or as a result of neighborhood/environmental concerns have been well documented. Be it poverty, low property values, few dollars, unemployment, budget shortfalls, political squabbling, blight or any other issues, the result is not simply difficulties in terms of educating the youth in those regions. There is another more sinister and long term effect that these conditions create among the residents.
All of the above results in the simple fact that there is an erosion of trust and confidence in the school system, CPS, as well as various government agencies. How on earth can parents feel that the children and schools are being treated in the manner expected...in a fair, reasonable, and just way.
Unless real solutions are found then the erosion of confidence will persist.
