REPORT: 77 percent of Baltimore high school students reading at elementary or kindergarten level
The Post Millenial ^ | 6 Feb2022 | James Anthony

Posted on 02/08/2022 3:20:09 PM PST by Rummyfan

An anonymous teacher from Baltimore's Patterson High School has come forward with crucial information to support the claim that fully 77 percent of students at the troubled institution have an elementary school – or lower – reading level.

The Post Millennial has previously reported on the fact that Baltimore high school students' performance is often several grade levels below their actual grade, but new information brought forth shows us the depth and scope of the issue.

According to a Fox outlet in Baltimore, despite the fact that Patterson is "one of the largest high schools in Baltimore," only 12 of the group of students, or 1.9 percent, tested in the ninth through 11th grades were reading at grade level.

The teacher, who interviewed with both his appearance and voice disguised in order to avoid "retribution," confirmed that the school practises what's known as "social promotion," and practised it widely.

And the other 33% go to something other than public teachers union schools.

And the mayor says it’s racist to notice this.

Right where their White Democrat masters want them to be. Being illiterate makes them easy to control.

Baltimore been Democrat-run since 1967, when Pelousy’s brother was mayor.

Pelousy’s dad was mayor there in 1947 and there’s been only one Republican mayor since.

Some FR teacher was giving me crap the other day for bad mouthing teachers. He called me a moron. If you're reading this, FRiend, these are the type of results I am talking about. I am sure NYC schools are no better than Baltimore schools. I stand by my statement that 95% of NYC teachers are illiterate. Add Baltimore teachers to the list.

If you belong to a teacher's union, then you are the problem. If you have a ED degree, then you have been indoctrinated. It's not worth the paper it is written. Leftist school administrators can't manage their way out of a wet paper bag. The entire government school system is broken.

Well, once the parents of these kids read about this in the paper, then I guess ...

Oh. Wait. That isn't going to happen, is it?

It used to be illegal to teach blacks to read. Now it’s just a Democrat tradition. These people deserve a special place in hell for destroying these children’s futures.

Believe it. I’m a homeschooled millennial. Very few of my publicly schooled peers can read a clock face, never mind a book.

Life on the progressive plantation

Blacks always get “the best” that America’s Left has to offer - strong families, great schools, safe streets, strong values

That republican was the only elected republicans at any level in Baltimore since before WWII.

He was in office in the late 60’s.

The criminally indicted states attorney stupidly blamed republicans for the crime.

As I said, it's just disgraceful.

I don't one hundred per cent blame the teachers though. I can imagine the student bodies at Baltimore public schools, or any big Dem run city school system, are more than rambunctious and teaching is probably nigh impossible.

High school. I had to read that twice...High school. We’re talking about High school students here reading at KINDERGARTEN level? WHAT?

So in other words we have these students about to enter the adult world who barely know their ABC’s. But let me guess: They know all about how racist the USA is and how great Communism is. But DON’T protest that otherwise Merrick Garland will consider you a domestic terrorist!
