OPINION: The problem with Urban Prep Academy is not that it is too bad. Its problem is that it is too good. It embarrassed the CPS bureaucracy.
Students walk between classes at Urban Prep Academy in the Englewood neighborhood on Oct. 25, 2022. Recently, the Chicago Board of Education voted not to renew the charter of Urban Prep, an all-male charter high school.
Or, as author Oscar Wilde succinctly put it, “The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy.” These kids I once represented, and now try to assist, too often feel shoved aside. And they are. Because they learn differently or because of their backgrounds, they do not learn efficiently, or they are inconvenient. They are ignored. So they drop out. Ultimately, many lead bleak lives. Enormous potential is wasted.
