I'd like to see the math proficiency scores of the teachers.

Is that the fault of the teachers or students?

Being a smart black student in school is quite often the kiss of death for the student. The black community by and large are killing themselves. They refuse to educate themselves out of their misery. So, what’s left is physical intimidation and crime.

So the schools have finally achieved their goal, at least in math!

More money to the teachers unions will fix that.

This problem can be fixed overnight by making it a Felony for ANY Public Employee to send their children to any school other than the Public School in their neighborhood.

We can all look at the overall performance of blacks and say that they don’t do as well as whites academically. But most of us, certainly myself, have worked with very smart and competent blacks, so there are certainly some, almost certainly a significant percentage of blacks capable of holding their ground academically.

So given the above, there should certainly be SOME blacks that can meet our already dumbed-down math standards, even in Baltimore. So that leads to one conclusion - that the public schools are INTENTIONALLY not teaching math to black students.

And that leads to the next question: Are they bothering to teach math to the white students, in other schools? Logical answer is no, considering that the public schools HATE white achievement.

Which leads to the final question: Why do white parents continue to send their kids to these horrific institutions? Answer: Because they’re FREE, and that’s all that matters!!!

According to Jordan Peterson, Intelligence and wisdom are essentially uncorrelated. IMHO Artificial Intelligence need one thing in order to transcend all education difficulties: it needs to be programmed to also have artificial wisdom.

We all know that journalism is negative and superficial, because that is what sells journalism. And since the last thing negativity suggests is gratitude, and since ingratiate and unhappiness are essentially synonymous (see Dennis Prager), negativity is unwisdom - just as superficially, inherent in short deadlines, is inconsistent with wisdom. Consequently an artificial intelligence which is not trained with intensive, uncritical exposure to journalism (and Wikipedia) is needed before it is ready for prime time for tutoring the world's children.

But once AI is truly trustworthy, AI - say rather, AI-enhanced homeschooling will take over education.

The other end of the spectrum. Interesting there is no Travon on the list.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fields_Medal

The Fields Medal is a prize awarded to two, three, or four mathematicians under 40 years of age at the International Congress of the International Mathematical Union (IMU), a meeting that takes place every four years. The name of the award honours the Canadian mathematician John Charles Fields.

The Fields Medal is regarded as one of the highest honors a mathematician can receive, and has been described as the Nobel Prize of Mathematics, although there are several major differences, including frequency of award, number of awards, age limits, monetary value, and award criteria. According to the annual Academic Excellence Survey by ARWU, the Fields Medal is consistently regarded as the top award in the field of mathematics worldwide, and in another reputation survey conducted by IREG in 2013–14, the Fields Medal came closely after the Abel Prize as the second most prestigious international award in mathematics.

How do we know it's only 23 schools? They may have added it up wrong.

It may be 230 schools but they were confused by the "0" and just left it out.

“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.”

“THEY failed.” There is plenty of fail to go around. The mother, the son, the school. None of them are taking any responsibility.

“Baltimore: 23 Schools Have Zero Students Who Can Do Math at Grade Level”

How many have been admitted to Harvard? How many are in med school?

Back many moons ago a teachers usually held a degree in the subject they were teaching. Then along came the BS in Education degree. Get the degree, apply for a job and get placed wherever you were needed. I know too many teachers who have no clue. I agree with the old saying. Those that can do. Those that can’t teach. Okay. Blast away.
