Chicago school officials pin hopes on extreme makeover at Marshall High School
It was final exam day in Anthony Skokna’s classroom, and his students scanned textbooks and old exams for inspiration as they scribbled answers.
Such assistance was standard practice in Skokna’s economics class, but on this June day it was not enough. Halfway through the period, one student asked the teacher outright for the answer to a true/false question. Skokna complied, and a flood of questions and answers ensued like some twisted game show.
“Skok, you might get your job back,” yelled one excited student. “It look like we’re learning.”
