Despite spending more per pupil than all but two large school districts in America, at least half a dozen government schools in Baltimore were unable to produce one single student who was proficient in either English or math last year.
The shocking results, uncovered by Project Baltimore, show a monumental tragedy unfolding in the city that represents a microcosm of the damage being inflicted on children across America. The proficiency tests put students in five categories, with four and five considered proficient, and one through three considered not proficient.

Sounds like New York city public schools. One of the most embarrassing business meetings I ever sat through in my life was about 20 years ago when I was doing safety training for companies in Brooklyn New york and one day we did a training session for a company that sold and delivered food products where a lot of the warehouse employees were black. Just another routine meeting with the employees until my boss came up with the BRILLIANT idea that the employees should take turns reading aloud from the safety manual. Almost every single black guy in that room could barely read an entire sentence, and these were guys in their 20s, 30s 40s. My boss was correcting them every 2 seconds, it was freakin’ torture. “T-t-t-o a-a-apply the b-b-b-rake” I remember thinking to myself “Please God, make it stop! Please please” and then my boss would say NEXT! lol Oh yeah and one of the managers told me when it was over that all of them were High school grads. HOW?? HOW THE F IS THAT POSSIBLE unless they were lying on their applications?
The modern secular left takes what it wants from Charles Darwin, the same as it does from anything else.
Per forma
And you’re wrong. Public education and academia are filled with Communist, socialist, and anti-American SOBs.
It’s certainly not just the parents, it’s those running academia as well.
I hope you are being sarcastic......
Which are far less tolerated in areas that are philosophically wise.
If Lady gets it 90% right, I suppose technically that’s wrong, but I challenge you to top it.
When the unions, add the gov.(Fed, State, and county plus city) run things-you have chiefs everywhere and not enough Indians. Look at every Gov program now. AA, Any minority gets X # of Gov contracts etc. This is a vicious cycle of handouts, entitlements, and; no one to do zip.
Bingo!
Of course the tests are a joke as well. Some students are great at math but suck at reading comprehension.
Bullshit.
Living a missionary life is righteous and one I strive for.
...but self preservation is my primary responsibility.
Recognizing demonic marketing slicks and pointing it out is not hubris, it’s my job.
Ever watch that episode of 48 hours where the straight A black student was bullied and murdered? ...for being smart.
I live in realville and am proud that my way of life produces the same type of character that founded this country.
Actually the experiment was not a failure. The goal was dumbed down kids.
Only an idiot would attempt to debate it... Have at it.
Very good point!
Thanks for labeling your own screed: It is bullshit. And deliberately misconstruing me.
It is hubris that you or your children earned anything you got.
Now if you want to say Jesus displayed His gift in your children, go ahead. In fact you should.
To debate what? In what manner?
Hard to do better teaching when the average IQ is 85 and does not want to “act white”.
There ya go....As plain as day....The typical leftist who run academia will always blame the parents and so called lack of funding, as well. ie: bloated pensions insurance.
Go away.
John 3:16
The disdain for “acting white” IS the chief hurdle, and it’s largely learned at home.
If the schools are an echo chamber to what was learned at home, they are, but don’t make the mistake that they taught what wasn’t already believed.
