Looked up the demographics for this school...Almost 90% black and Hispanic
I bet that high school diploma opens doors for those kids future!

No wonder the education associations (aka teacher’s unions) are so against standardized testing. No wonder progressives are so against SAT tests to be used in determining who gets into college.
Every now and then we talk about how horrible it is to be in a failed state. To be in a failed education system, denies a child of almost all hope for making a decent life for themselves.
Racist educators, administrators, politicians. Most racist.
Just 12 students tested at Patterson High School, were reading at grade level, which comes out to just 1.9%.”
***These numbers are astonishing, even after I have long lowered my expectations.
And yet, these children are well versed in how much they are entitled to. Dangerous seas ahead.
I’d make a joke about Patterson but in my day, they were not known as an academic powerhouse, but they did graduate most of their students.
After all these years, there should have major improvements but the new leftist Dems, including their Great Black Hopes, have totally failed their children. The kids deserve better.
This is an atrocity.
No one cares. It’s Baltimore. The Politicians don’t give a ****. Parents are clueless. Remember they are living in poverty. This teacher did a noble thing but it was ultimately futile.
I do not like green eggs and ham.
“The public school system is usually a twelve year sentence of mind control. Crushing creativity, smashing individualism, encouraging collectivism and compromise, destroying the exercise of intellectual inquiry, twisting it instead into meek subservience to authority.”
-Walter Karp [American Journalist and Historian]
Are these young skulls full of mush still being told that even they could be POTUS someday?
With the expiration of so many aspiring rappers lately, it’s good to know there’s a pool of talent coming up.
Yes, but they will vote Democrat 200% of the time 🤣
RACISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn white people ruin everything!
Republicans need to be making an issue of educational failures like this, but Maryland’s RINO Republican governor is better known for attacking Trump.

I work at a place outside the city and all hourly hireS are tested for basic reading and math skills before hiring.
shocking how many fail.
Don't laugh. That's better than their elected representatives.
I am still looking for that successful and thriving black majority, black lead American city.
It is as rare as any successful sub-Saharan African country.

They sure know how to use a cellphone though.
