Given it’s Baltimore, that adds up. Seriously, how proficient in algebra, geometry etc. do you need to be in that environment?

Somehow they need to change the culture from ‘identification as victims (DEI), and replace it with an intellectual culture, like the Asian Culture does. As long as they are taught every single minute of every single day that “Whitey had made them stupid” then they will not progress.

“Much is cultural.”

Most of it is IQ. Where do you think culture comes from? And what do you think is the essence of culture?

“… The reason for being a Baltimore “teacher” is not to educate the children but rather to draw down as salary the funds available for the education system.

Education is for the educators.”
****************************************************

Yep. Baltimore schools are currently paid about $21,000 PER STUDENT from the taxpayers. When questions are raised about student performance the “educators’” responses are always that MORE MONEY IS NEEDED AND TEACHER PAY RAISES ARE NEEDED.

What was the range of IQ values of the 2,000 students in those 23 Baltimore schools?

Also, what was the range of IQ values of the teachers of those 2,000 students in those 23 Baltimore schools?

No surprise here, you have dummies from the Teachers Unions teaching a bunch of dummies to remain dummies.

Your premise is flawed. The reason for being a Baltimore “teacher” is not to educate the children but rather to draw down as salary the funds available for the education system. Education is for the educators.

++++++++++++++++

100% spot on. Unfortunately it is too late. Teachers unions control the democrat politician stooges. The teachers that are lockstep and beholden to the union are a scourge upon our society. I have to look no further than the two educator husband and wife combo in my cul-de-sac and one that lives across the street. Democrat stooges - all of them.

But what does it matter? to the left, math is sexist/racist/homophobe and 2 + 2 = 5. Math is the instrument of White supremacy!

And why does it matter? They’ll be passed and graduated anyway, and put into college with their tuition paid, and get a diploma and get an affirmative action job that they don’t know how to do.

Amazing that all the different cultures in Europe created 1st world countries, and all the African cultures are dumps…What are the odds?

There are too many cuckservatives here that will never admit the truth, while our country goes down the toilet.

You are correct. Most cashiers have no trouble swiping the card and giving you a receipt. But give them a $20 for a $7.67 bill and they’re likely to freeze up, then attempt to give you some bills and coins in the hope that it’s close. I recently gave a cashier $20.24 for a $12.24 bill. I received nine dollars and some change in return.

The primary uses for Government schools are daycare and meals

True that. But don't forget the other aspect.

Some teachers go into teaching to make a difference (either for good or for indoctrination). But other teachers go into teaching because whatever major they tried to do in college was too tough and they switched to an easy education degree. Those teachers are the ones who are horrible at math.

But they are proficient in New Math. That’s the one where you think of math in concepts and don’t learn how to add and subtract.

I’m afraid it’s much worse than it appears. How many people understand just how bad grade level is? Are we to believe that grade level for an eighth grader is the same as it was in the ‘60s when I was in the 8th grade? I know damn well it’s not based on my daughter’s time in high school in the 90s. Grade level for any subject is pathetic now.

If they had 90% of the students meeting grade level now they would still be woefully behind.

Depending whose numbers you look at, BMO school system is costing the taxpaying units approximately $18,000 per failure year.

Dare I say it?

I dare, I dare.

GIGO.

Garbage In, Garbage Out.

Punks in school today trying to portray their dirty harry side to intimidate their opponents

“I know what you’re thinking: “Did he fire 22 shots or only 64?” Well, to tell you the truth, i never passed math classes. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, which i dont understand because the .357 has 4 more numbers in it, and therefore should be more powerful, and being that this here gun would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself a question: “does 2+1=4? Does it equal 7? Does it equal less than 1? Then you have to ask yourself what is a bakers dozen? And then you have to ask yourself why is math so racist? Then you gotta ask yourself “what if he was high and he forgot to load? And then you gotta ask yourself Am i feeling lucky today?” Well, do ya, punk?
