She thought her oldest son was doing well because even though he failed most of his classes, he was being promoted.

Free tuition! College for all!

He’s in the top half of his class—he should automatically get into an advanced program without any testing.

Ridiculous, but just taking the movement in NYC and Boston to eliminate all testing for selective exam schools and use “other indicators” such as class rank or zipcode quotas.

The solution to this situation is obvious, these students must be placed with the “Gifted and Talented” who attend other schools. It will raise the underperforming students self-esteem which will result in improved academic performance. At the end they will all become Doctors as opposed to aspiring rappers.

Didn’t read the whole story. Just skimmed through it looking to see if there was any mention of how much taxpayer money is spent per student.

Well clearly it’s systemic racism. And white supremacy. And white privilege.

He didn't fail, the school failed him. The school failed at their job. They failed. They failed, that's the problem here. They failed. They failed. He didn't deserve that.”

He failed, you failed as a mother, and the school and Baltimore city public education all failed.

My sister and my b-i-l do substitute teaching in Baltimore County. They say it's not unusual to have seniors in high school who cannot read or write; they have just been socially promoted through the grades.

How are such people to get employment?

This is a lost generation. And what is the solution? You can bet on it 100% that the Department of Education will need ...MORE MONEY!

But the real reason African Americans often don’t succeed is racism!
