A shocking discovery out of a Baltimore City high school, where Project Baltimore has found hundreds of students are failing. It’s a school where a student who passed three classes in four years, ranks near the top half of his class with a 0.13 grade point average.

Tiffany France thought her son would receive his diploma this coming June. But after four years of high school, France just learned, her 17-year-old must start over. He’s been moved back to ninth grade.

“He’s stressed and I am too. I told him I’m probably going to start crying. I don’t know what to do for him,” France told Project Baltimore. “Why would he do three more years in school? 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.”

France’s son attends Augusta Fells Savage Institute of Visual Arts in west Baltimore. His transcripts show he’s passed just three classes in four years, earning 2.5 credits, placing him in ninth grade. But France says she didn’t know that until February. She has three children and works three jobs. She thought her oldest son was doing well because even though he failed most of his classes, he was being promoted. His transcripts show he failed Spanish I and Algebra I but was promoted to Spanish II and Algebra II. He also failed English II but was passed on to English III.

This is a public school, which means the teachers there belong to the same unions currently issuing endless demands about money and reopening schools.

Tammany Hall could not have conceived of a better plan for graft than the current teachers union scam. And the parents whose kids are being denied an education support it! Tony Soprano could only dream it could be this easy!

I don't blame that parent one bit.

I do.

If she didn't know her son was failing then she's an idiot. It's long past time to stop giving deadbeats a pass. She's as much of the problem as her loser son, more actually because she spawned him and let him turn into the burden upon society that he's become. So what that she's working three jobs, if she'd kept her legs closed she would have to. I'll guarantee that she's collecting more from welfare than she's earning from those three jobs.

And right on schedule, the radical leftist moron Mayor of Baltimore said the problem is that the schools need more money.

At $16,184 per student per year, Baltimore public schools are the third highest spending district in the entire United States.
