But critics such as state Sen. Matt Murphy, R-Palatine, say Grow Your Own Teacher “hasn’t worked and is terribly inefficient.”
“It is an example of politics still trumping merit, in terms of whether a program warrants continued funding,” Murphy said. “And again, the goal may be laudable, but the implementation of this program has not produced a return on investments that is fair to taxpayers.”
The Grow Your Own Teacher program was designed to help parents, community leaders and nonteaching school staffers become teachers willing to work at public schools in low-income areas.
