13 Baltimore City High Schools, Zero Students Proficient in Math
Fox ^ | 11/9/2017

Posted on 11/10/2017 2:40:31 AM PST by Altura Ct.

An alarming discovery coming out of City Schools.

Project Baltimore analyzed 2017 state testing data and found one-third of High Schools in Baltimore, last year, had zero students proficient in math.

But that’s not all we found. In the midst of that troubling number, there are some bright spots.

Most mornings, at Baltimore Collegiate School for Boys, start the same way – with students chanting the school’s motto in the gym.

“There’s an urgency about the work we’re doing,” said Jack Pannell, the school’s founder.

That urgency was born out of need.

“Nine out of ten black boys in Baltimore City are not reading at grade level,” added Pannell.

That grim statistic, lead Pannell to open his north Baltimore school three years ago. As the name implies, in these halls, there are no girls.

Because math is a White privilege thing. It was invented by Whites to keep non-Whites down, and to keep them from high paying jobs that Whites want for themselves.
Nothing to do with limited math ABILITY, and a destructive home life.

You couldn’t construct a more nightmarish crime infested social wasteland than today’s democrat controlled inner cities if you actually tried to do it by actual design and planning

Yes, that is the one thing democrats are really good at: screwing up the country

Why bother. Smartphones & computers have calculators on them. At work Excel spreadsheets or the company computer can do all the math you need and anything super difficult there is always AI. Even at the only jobs remaining, the cash register function on the in-store check out device will figure the change. Math is no longer necessary. /sarc

“I’m beginning to think that liberals are slowly giving up on the notion that they can achieve universal equality by dragging low IQ types up.”

The affirmative action policies of the past several decades clearly indicate liberals never thought blacks were equal to whites; the fact that they STILL have those policies (and blacks are even further marginalized) really drives home the point. Without government jobs and fake token positions created in the private sector, black unemployment would be probably be north of 90%. 50 years ago I’m sure it would have been a quarter of that.

So many democrat programs and solutions depend on having a population that doesn’t understand match. They just need to figure out how to replicate this “success” across the country.

When uneducated “teachers” get the position because of skin/politics, this is what you get - then they claim it’s racist to expect people of color to actually learn anything - irony abounds.

You really see the impact of this when cities try to lure businesses; they often offer tax incentives, but these come with a price - including hiring x% of your workforce from city residents. When cities have no viable workforce, the companies have a hard time meeting that requirement - and an even harder time convincing competent people to commute into the city to do the real work.

Many cities (outside of ports/transit hubs) have become obsolete; the free market has spoken.

Yeh, for sure. I would bet a steak dinner that the math teachers are likewise zero proficient in math. The stupid teaching the ignorant, bad formula...

That's never been the plan. Liberals understand what you call "low IQ types" very well.

The plan is to drag everyone else down.

If Darius, A'darrion, Charquille, and Rakeem each burn down two buildings, and Uterius and Tremon rape two white women, how many minutes will it take 7 of their friends to destroy the Popo cars?

Dundalk representatives asked for an immediate closure of the Baltimore Community High School

Hell chunk 'em all in prison or give them to the NFL. That is where their new home is going to be if they are not shot in the near future.

"That grim statistic, lead Pannell..."

Simply brilliant, Fox! In an article on education, you are not writing at grade level. You made two fourth-grade errors in the first five words of a one-liner.

You're apparently a product of Baltimore schools; as was your so-called editor...

You can call it "bright flight". Everyone with an IQ above room temperature has fled from Baltimore. This is the natural result.
