Chicago's educational system, where teachers are blowing the whistle on a practice that could redefine what education means in one of America's most prominent cities. This video explores the startling revelations about Chicago Public Schools' policies on migrant student education.

The Shocking Directives: Teachers have come forward alleging they were instructed to pass migrant students regardless of academic performance. Why?
