Baltimore gonna Baltimore. Even the kids are screwed.

Short cliffs:
Kid is being asked to restart high school after having a GPA of 0.13.
Only 2 children in the entire school are proficient in math and english.
With his GPA of 0.13, he ranks 62 out of 120 students in his senior class.
Mayor claims funding is an issue but upon deeper look, Baltimore City spends 25% more than the state average for their school system and this particular school receives $5.4 million per year.


Kind of sad honestly. The city is such a chit hole but the system is failing kids from the get go, and here we go still electing democrats, year over year, despite nothing being fixed, and things in fact getting worse. The best part is that all the white people that are moving into the city arent using the public school systems, they are generally sending their kids to private schools, so when they (Sillie) sit here and tell you that everything is fine & the city is a really nice place, it just goes to show you how out of touch people are with reality.

we go still electing democrat

Only a matter of time before even people like wincel may start questioning how these people keep getting 'elected'

Was it because the teachers were too busy brainwashing the kids about social justice issues and victimhood?

[RhysWirral]

This is the thing that loses me with liberals, they actually seem happy to leave African Americans remain an underclass.

Honestly pathetic that the mother is acting like some victim.

Honestly think just the whole system is fukked. Failure by literally everyone starting with the school system and definitely reflecting on the mother who hasnt realized her son has missed 392 days of school and is obviously not educated.

I agree. The parents here failed just as much as the school system, it should have been much more obvious that something was wrong before it got to this point. The entire system and city ecosystem is fukked

If you fail, you fail, you don't let them become sophomores, junior, seniors, graduate, etc.

Also, why didn't they ever let the mom know that her son was failing?

In the video @ 1:49... "The school never told her her son was failing"

So she lets the school babysit her kid for 10+ years, has no clue about how he's doing until he's 17 - and she's pissed at the school.

Right....

He passed 3 classes in 4 years and the school is to blame.

It’s....always......someone.....else’s........ .fault.

Of course it is. It couldn't very well be her fault....

Unpopular opinion: ban private schools and every single public school in the entire country gets the exact same budget given to them by the federal government (on a per student basis). Now all kids start at the same level and there's no more rich privilege. And there should be no difference in budget for schools in different cost of living areas. So the schools in bumfuk Baltimore can pay their teachers the same as the schools in San Francisco, which may lure better teachers to the schools in cheaper neighborhoods, thus evening the playing field of the students which will soon lead to more balanced neighborhoods.

Predictions:

Blaming whites for black failures

We need to spend more on "the children"

A culture of racism and discrimination

If I have money, why shouldnt my children get better education?

This is no different than buying a house in a nice town.

They have spent trillions on this since the 50s and nothing has changed.

But he was in the top 50% of his class...

That means it wasn't just him. That's a strong indicator that there is a failure of leadership.

Not only that, they were moved on despite failing. How the **** does this even happen?

[z4v4]

For undergrad, I only applied to Northwestern, Columbia, and NYU. A community college in hillbilly country wasn't on my radar. Sorry, son.

Dude, did you even watch the video in the OP? The kid in question was sent to school to be babysat his entire life.. Granted, the school should not have kept passing him along, but at the same time some parents have to GAF as well. It's a popular liberal idea to yell "Throw more money at it!" but come on... If a kid DGAF, and if his "parents" DGAF then we can't really put all blame on the school, now can we...

Sadly from what I've read this is common with inner city government run schools.

Charter Schools do much better with students achieving much better grades typically. Some information on this ~

"Rotten Education Isn't Preordained"

http://walterewilliams.com/rotten-ed...t-preordained/

Black politicians, civil rights leaders and their white liberal advocates have little or no interest in doing anything effective to deal with what’s no less than an education crisis among black students. In city after city with large black populations, such as Baltimore, St. Louis, Detroit, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., less than 10% of students test proficient in reading and math. For example, in 2016, in 13 Baltimore high schools, not a single student tested proficient in math. In six other high schools, only 1% tested proficient in math. Citywide, only 15% of Baltimore students passed the state’s English test. Despite these academic deficiencies, about 70% of the students graduate and are conferred a high school diploma.

Ballou High School is in Washington, D.C. Five percent of its students test proficient in reading and 1% test proficient in math. In 2017, all 189 students in Ballou High School’s senior class applied to college. All 189 members of the graduating class of 2017 were accepted to universities. In November 2017, an investigation showed that half of Ballou’s 2017 graduates had more than three months of unexcused absences. One in five of the graduating class was absent more than present, therefore missing more than 90 days of school.

Examples of academic underachievement can be seen at predominantly black public schools across the nation, but that’s only part of the story. The strangest part of this is that poor academic performance is accepted and tolerated by black politicians, civil rights organizations and white liberals. Poor performance is often blamed on finances; however, the poorest performing schools have the highest per pupil spending. New York, Washington, D.C., and Baltimore rank among the nation’s highest in per pupil educational spending.

The underachievement story is compounded by the gross dishonesty of colleges that admit many of these students. I cannot imagine that students who are not proficient in reading and math can do real college work. In a futile attempt to make up for 12 years of rotten education, colleges put these students in remedial courses. They also design courses with little or no true academic content. Colleges have their own agendas. They want the money that comes from admitting these students. Also, they want to make their diversity and multiculturalism administrators happy.

Poor black education is not preordained. Dr. Thomas Sowell has examined schools in New York City and student performance on the NY State English Language Arts Test in 2016-17. Thirty percent of Brooklyn’s William Floyd elementary school third graders scored well below proficient in English and language arts, but at Success Academy charter school in the same building, only one did. At William Floyd, 36% were below proficient, with 24% being proficient and none testing above proficient. By contrast, at Success Academy, only 17% of third graders were below proficient, with 70% being proficient and 11% being above proficient. Among Success Academy’s fourth graders, 51% and 43%, respectively, scored proficient and above proficient, while their William Floyd counterparts scored 23% and 6%, respectively. Similar high performance can be found in some other Manhattan charter schools such as KIPP Infinity Middle School.

Liberals tell us that racial integration is a necessary condition for black academic excellence. Public charter schools such as those mentioned above belie that vision. Sowell points out that only 39% of students in all New York state schools who were recently tested scored at the “proficient” level in math, but 100% of the students at the Crown Heights Success Academy tested proficient where blacks and Hispanics constitute 90% of the student body......
