Baltimore students and teachers returned back to school from holiday break on Tuesday, expecting to start the new year with a bang, but that was an overly optimistic assumption for a collapsing school system, as they found their classrooms flooded and indoor temperatures barely above freezing. Starting off on the wrong foot, Baltimore’s school system could be on track for a turbulent year, in conjunction with a widespread cheating scandal.
The recent cold snap in Maryland has sent temperatures across the state plunging. For instance, on Wednesday morning, Baltimore printed at 11 degrees.
On Tuesday, the cold weather parazyled the school system across the city, however, schools remained open despite the horrific conditions.
“It was miserable. The kids had their coats, hats, and gloves on all day,” said Jesse Schneiderman, a social, studies teacher at Frederick Douglass High School.
One classroom at Frederick Douglass was completely destroyed, after flooding from a burst pipe rendered the classroom unsafe.
“A teacher in our basement, because her room is under the flooded classroom, lost all of her materials,” he said. “Other teachers had to teach in the library because their classrooms were too cold.”

$1.3 billion a year doesn’t buy what it used to.
Gezzz, what are they doing, peeing on the floor?
Yes, what the hell are people doing with all of the money? This is insanity.
Somebody is pocketing that money.
Gee I wonder who that could be.
Baltimore is a socialist utopia. Everyone suffers equally.
Ridiculous. Just to put meat in the seats for federal dollars. How can they be expected to learn anything in those conditions. Close the schools for a few days, fix them, and schedule make up days.
Pretty.
It’s obviously been flooded due to broken pipes.
Oh, I don't know, that would buy an awful lot of graft and corruption.
That’s a great thought and so true. A socialist utopia is where everyone suffers equally.
NOPE.
That's what it looked like before the flooding. I don't know if you have tried to take linoleum flooring up off of concrete, but water won't do it.
Look at the wear and tear on the tiles. Look at the stains.
“Baltimore students and teachers returned back to school from holiday break on Tuesday, expecting to start the new year with a bang,”
Can’t believe that made it past an editor, lol.
Are those kids facing Mecca?
Send the kids to Montgomery or Anne Arundel. Those schools are top notch. In fact, Anne Arundel has schools that are number 1 in the nation. Hard to believe the conditions those kids have to endure. That is something that needs to change ASAP.
Inner city school systems tend to follow the same game plan as when democrats takeover a city. They hire all their friends at no-work jobs, paying $50,000 a year for to read a newspaper all day. Money is diverted to "special projects." So and so gets to buy all new furniture for her office cuz she is now a big wig. Then another starts buying stuff he needs on the company credit card cuz he knows that his pal in the office will just let it slide. And on and on and on.
Yep, we get to pay for it all and very little of it gets to the kids for which it all is intended.
There are probably nicer schools in 3rd world countries that have been built by mission organizations.
Fire all the administrators and let the Education Sec fix it. Oh, never mind, they don’t want her there. They’re dealing with it so well.
