Much is cultural. When I was in school, any black student who did well would be shunned and taunted for “sucking up to whitey”. I am sure it has not changed.

Ironically, the guys running the drug rings are probably very good at math

[glorgau]

I wonder how many could figure that is 100%?

All they need is more money.

The Kirwan Commission studied this problem for years and decided a few billion more taxpayer dollars (statewide tax) would solve all their problems.

Of course they will never admit failure.

A lot of cashiers have trouble with counting out the right change, even though the exact figure is right in front of them on the register.

This is due to having minimal math skills and to a big decrease in people using cash. Some don’t even know what a $50 bill looks like. I gave a $50 bill to a cashier for a $4 item and he gave me back $1! Dumbass. I got my $46 but not without insisting he look in his register.

Democrats. Democrat policies. Democrat goals.

It's funny that teachers appear to feel no guilt about sending these kids out into the world with the notion that math and science are racist.

These teachers don't realize that they are nothing but tools of the Marxists in America who want to use them to destroy our system.

Always negative! Look what they achieved, seven percent proficiency! With continued massive spend the schools maybe, just maybe able to get to eight percent proficiency in the next ten years! Let’s go tax payers, after all its for the children!

Next subject on the budget..... mmmmm.... increases for prisons. With the failure of our schools which have caused increase crime activity, we must have massive increases in our prison budget, after all its for the children!

It’s hard to believe that the HBO series “The Wire” portrays “The Good Old Days” of Baltimore.

[Baldwin77]

Bet they know their “pronouns” !

[aquila48]

I bet the student body was mostly Asian.

[jdsteel]

But they’re well versed in CRT, the proper pronouns and all things LDBTQIA+.

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

Child abuse by the state is no abuse at all. Just redefine passing...”pre-sent!”

[dblshot]

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

[silent majority rising]

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.

What... Are we suppose to be surprised..?

[Carl Vehse]

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?

[chopperk]

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

[I want the USA back]

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.

The primary uses for Government schools are daycare and meals
