6 Baltimore schools, no students proficient in state tests

"...five Baltimore City high schools and one middle school do not have a single student proficient in the state tested subjects of math and English."

Is there a complaint? They're perfect Democrat voters.

This result can't be anything but a win for the left, so I'm baffled at the concern.

Did you see Dinesh D’Souza’s movie, ‘Hillary’s America’? He makes these points vividly. A must-see.

Defense of government schooling, and racial prejudice. What could be better in a forum dedicated to freedom?

The socialist government school system just happened to target black people before it targeted those of us who are not black. Rest assured, they are now working on us whites too (see: antifa). If you think government schooling is “good” for people who are not black, consider than 80-90% of Christians are converted to secular humanism by the system just in time for high school grad. That is what birthed antifa. Whoopie! So what are you doing to convince others to abandon government schooling?

It's fake concern. Just enough "concern" to alarm people and fool them into throwing more tax dollars toward the teachers, teachers unions, and most of all, the administrators.

Despite the challenges at his school, Warren found a path to higher education. He’s the reigning Baltimore City 50 and 100 freestyle champion who competed at the junior Olympics, finishing in fourth place. In the fall, he will leave the streets of Baltimore and head to Bethany College in West Virginia, where he will swim.

The path he found was being black and caring enough to apply. The article implies he was awarded a swimming scholarship, but that is highly unlikely on his swimming merits alone. He finished fourth at the Junior Olympics last year! Of course, that was the AAU Junior Olympics, which in swimming is not quite as good as the YMCA Nationals, which is not nearly as good as the USA Swimming Regional age group championships, of which only the best swimmers qualify for the Junior Nationals, and only the elite for the Senior Nationals... oh, and then there is the whole Olympics/Trials thing. So, he basically finished 4th place in slow competition... in the 400IM... out of 5 swimmers. Honestly, his greatest accomplishment appears to have been completing the 400IM without being disqualified (assuming the stroke judges were doing their job).

So they went O for the year. The schools are just in a little slump.

Glad I’m old. By the time these kids get old enough to “make a difference,” I’ll be gone.

[Enchante]

I’ll bet they don’t even know cursive.....

[Intolerant in NJ]

Not time to learn - too busy burning the city down.....

[vetvetdoug]

What are the demographics of the administration, the teachers and the students? Silence.....

[gogeo]

Obvious racism of course.

That, and under-funding.

[gogeo]

Clearly, there needs to be boatloads of extra cash thrown at this problem. With more money, the teachers will finally start trying to be successful.

I would laugh, but someone somewhere is saying exactly that.

One question on the test was who Maya Angelou is. They said he was Mayor in DC who smoked crack.

No, no, that's Maya Berry.

[gogeo]

The real problem isn’t with the teachers or principals.

There is no one "real" problem. Everything is the problem. There is no part of public 'education' performing acceptably. Not administration, not teaching/teachers, not students.

It would be impossible to design a system that works worse than this. There's no accountability anywhere.

6 Baltimore schools, no students proficient in state tests

6 Black success stories!

Not one black kid caught "acting white" by learning anything!

[Stand Watch Listen]

So what colleges take these kids?????????????

Colleges that offer extremely remedial courses in math/english in the 'students' first year of attendance. Colleges that process the tuition aids, grants only to let these 'students' fail in their subsequent years.

“There is no part of public ‘education’ performing acceptably. Not administration, not teaching/teachers, not students.”

Of course there is——lots of great public schools.

[Organic Panic]

Can’t they just lower the racist standars?

I’m not. In fact, I am an E V I L teacher. Get a grip. Not every teacher is out to fill all of those little heads with mush.
