It wouldn't surprise mw if 15% of the total students in the US education systems are illegals/non citizens.

Do you think undocumented people are illegal?

The burden this has put on our governments--local, state and federal--is staggering.

My God, our unemployment will be zero, once even a fraction of this is cleaned up!

Well just "spend" our way out of the problem. People keep voting for it.

If you count anchor babies (who are technically legal), I bet it's closer to 30%.

15% are illegal? The usual absence rate is 7.85%. Increasing from 7.85% to 15% does not suddenly mean that everyone who skips school is illegal. When you factor in that Monday is the 2nd highest school absence rate of the week the actual number of students skipping school due to the raids is likely closer to 5%.
Of course many of these students are likely citizens whose households were disrupted by the raids, lowering the percentage of undocumented even more.
Of course you are obviously assuming that no illegal attended school that day, which is very ignorant.
And you are also assuming that every illegal child or young adult is enrolled in school.
Both of which are statistically impossible.
Split the difference and call it 10%. That is one big problem. Not only a drain of the system. But remember all the nonsense about covid dragging down test scores? More than likely its teachers dumbing down class to the lowest denominator, which in a vast number of cases is the group of kids who dont speak English.

Good question. Many came in to rebuild in the N.O. area after Katrina, then never left. They found plenty of work. Once they found out that the bulk of citizens of N.O. were too lazy to fart, they realized they could work as much as they wanted to, forever.

Weird all they gaf about is those federal dollars flowing by head count.
It’s about the only way they get paid these days. A lot of people fight funding for education pretty hard and so that well is drying up.
Conservative Christians say they don’t want to fund public education which is somewhat understandable but they are usually the ones with money so poorer folks suffer without the help with the public education works. CCs say not my problem and the country gets dumber by the day but it’s not all their fault.
There’s probably better ways to educate so that we’re less dependent on richer tax payers but the education lobby blocks anything they perceive as a threat to their power.
Each side blames the other but both sides don’t want to give a little more. We’re all more greedy than we think but greed can’t really be defined if you think about it.

And the teachers for those kids will be pressured to “get them back up to speed,” after their voluntary absence, interfering with the educational progress of the kids who DID show up for school.
