Baltimore gonna Baltimore. Even the kids are screwed.

[BeginnerGainz]

It didn't happen overnight.
Place was probably going down hill since the 80's.

didn't sillie go to highschool in baltimore?

Probably a private or charter school out in the county, I highly doubt he went to a city school.

[Bushmaster]

Here we go again... the mental midget enters chat...

And I believe you. Told you before you're working way too hard trying to impress son..

[Bushmaster]

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?

According to the video in the OP they said they did let her know. Of course she stone cold denies it and blames them though...

[RhysWirral]

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.

you're right that is an unpopular opinion.

even if that did happen parents who cared about their kids would just homeschool them or get them a private tutor on weekends.

[BearyManilowe]

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.

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?

Without a doubt to all of these. It's just an indicator of how piss poor the education is in these areas from ALL parties involved. Starting with the parents, passing through the schools, and ultimately the children need to have some kind of responsibility, but can you blame them if they're living with a parent who can't even tell that her kid is obviously not getting educated?

Just the whole culture and system is fukked. I don't honestly see a way to fix it. Just wanted to shed some light and see if anyone else had any clues or what could even be done. Is it even feasible to just give up on a city? And why isn't anyone doing anything to fix it? Crazy that there's so much wrong and yet somehow theres not widespread corruption being outed?

[N0rds]

Teachers aren't doing their job well enough?

DEFUND THE TEACHERS.

ABOLISH THE SCHOOLS.

That will solve the problems!!

When will the white supremacy stop

Not Juilliard, Happy Gilmore?

Oof..fraud z4 gonna fraud

This.

Trump really should have denounced it.

I posted this in the other Baltimore thread:

Baltimore is 62% African American. 75% of African Americans live in a single parent household.

This is what happens when you break up nuclear families. Single mothers are struggling to keep food on the table. Their children’s education is not their main focus.

When you have the majority of parents not caring about their children’s education, schools are not held accountable.

[Polaris]

Interesting, where's Sillie to tell us about how dumb and uneducated red states/areas are, while saying how bigly educated Maryland and other blue states are?

[wickedman]

Surely she doesn't know...

Who’s going to out the corruption?

The community who continues to vote these people in through decades of failure?

Their peers who are just waiting for their turn to move up high enough to benefit themselves?

The students who dgaf and show up 50 days a year?

Hhaahahaha.

I practically live in bmore. Have you ever been here? Hahaha


You have to be trolling

So disconnected from reality.

No one is coming to bmore, you are not going to attract talented teachers here no matter what you pay because the risk of violence in the city. Bmore is practically lawlesss.

[Mountaineer92]

z4 is really great at writing fiction jfl.

as for baltimore being a chithole as always ... *shrug* elections for multiple decades have consequences.

You're right, this is an unpopular opinion for good reason.

Places like Baltimore and DC actually receive among the highest funding per student and yet remain chitholes for education. Throwing money at corrupt and mismanaged school unions isn't a solution to any of this.

Private/Charter schools in general do way better in these areas than their public school counter parts with maybe 50-75% the funding that they get.


At the end of the day if the parents don't give af about their children's education, the governing bodies aren't going to either. It's basically a glorified day care where you might learn something but is just a place where you send your kid to for lunches while you work. If parents can't even do something as simple as care about their child's education, how are these institutions going to even be held accountable?

Imagine voting in the same fuktards for 60 years, Baltimore is pretty much Democrat HQ on the east coast.

[jackamo2887]

I've lived in Baltimore. The kids and adults are exactly the same.

"It isn't my fault" is basically the city motto.

Technically they all graduate right? All that matters is that paper man. 0.13 was the average GPA, lol.

[Leonydus]

the average iq there is probably 68, 70 is considered mentally retarded. but yea lets just ignore the elephant in the room and keep throwing more resources at it.

Random screeching about nine different reasons and a few shrugs, then forgotten about for a few more years until the next outrageous story hits the news.

Too bad for you poor fukkers in Baltimore, you're on your own.

Its the kids who are on their own from their deadbeat parents. That is the problem and no amount of federal "help" or money or nice shiny buildings will fix that problem.

[pandaboy89]

How the fk does somebody get under 2.0 gpa lmfaoooo

[tnel00]

Dems run cities into the ground

This has nothing to do with which political party is in charge of the city. This is due to the kids upbringing, or lack of it

[Beararms]

Blame the culture, blame the parents, blame the system that doesn't help the teachers or give them any kind of power. Teachers are handcuffed and cant do anything about it so they just show up and get a paycheck. No one else cares so why should they? These principals and superintendents know what is going on, they just sweep it all under a rug so they'll look good, eventually that big bulge under the rug becomes noticeable to the point it draws attention.

My parents asked me about my classes and teachers weekly, they even called my teachers without me knowing to see how I was doing.

The mother knew exactly what was going on, she just did not give a **** so when she gets called out it's everyone else's fault. This isnt strictly African American culture, this is poor people culture. I know white kids who had issues at home that did just as bad as the kids in Baltimore.

Not only that, but single mother culture too IMO. I dated one once and her precious little angel simply wasn't capable of doing anything wrong at all - school work included. He'd bring home a bad report card, she'd question him, he'd turn on the tears, and the very next day she'd haul ass down to the school to raise absolute hell with the teachers.

I mention how he never brought any books home and played video games until the wee hours on school nights, and FML... not a good day for teh Bushmaster lol.

The keyword in your post is “parent(S).

You are part of the 25% who had 2 active parents.

Blames the political party in charge because orange man bad for past 4 years.

Says political party doesnt matter in this situation.

Makes sense, as usual. Youre too emotional for this stuff. The city is led by hardcore left policy and politics- these people run the city. Dont blame them, because.. what- you dont like Trump voters? Lmao, great logic lil guy.

This. If you dont think this metric is linked to the city being awful, then prove it wrong with something else. I'll bet you all those politicians are living it up.

In swoops, bull in this thread, to bring up orange man when no one mentioned him. Time to let him go, son.

Because democrats are the problem lol. It's weird how democrats are supposed to end racism and be a utopia for minorities, yet under democratic leadership they have like the most crime and violence especially among minorities.
