What Is Wrong In Baltimore

So what do they really know? A couple of years ago I posted an article pointing out that very few of them could read either. So, what are they taught in school?

LOL. Nothing much. It's daycare before they move on to incarceration (if the rest of us are lucky). There's a reason people are evacuating to Red States. Well, a few reasons, but that's one of them.

This is sound logic at play.

"I can't afford to live here but I can afford to move me and family, change careers, and start all over in a Red State!"

Psst... that's the kind of reasoning that made you poor in the first place.

Not to mention red states have higher crime rates overall than blue.

Yeah, but when you look at that, most of it's from the big blue cities in the lovely red states. Like, say , Atlanta. Or New Orleans. Pick a state, pick a city, it's generally the same inconvenient elephant in the room. Take that city out of the equation, and low and behold.....the stats are so much lower. Funny, that. Personally I think eastern Oregon has the right idea. Leave and join Idaho. Separation, a la Eastern Oregon divorcing Portland and the blue coast, is the best cure, and giving more power to the States, and less opportunity for Congress and the President to intervene in what should be State responsibilities.

Don’t cloud the issue with facts. Baltimore is an easy fix, shitcan the teachers union, put student funding in the parents/ student hands, school choice, shitcan inept teachers, get rid rid of tenure and instill discipline in the ranks. Parents need to take back school boards. Parents need to be more involved with their kids and not send them to school for upbringing. Most of all vote for politicians that represent your values.

Set and maintain high academic standards and get rid of corrupt school administrators.

"BALTIMORE — The Maryland Office of the Inspector General for Education released a report that reveals that more than 12,000 failing grades in the Baltimore City Public Schools were changed to passing grades during a five-year span.
The office investigated and allege that the school district "incorrectly documented and promoted students by changing failing grades to those of passing grades" from 2016 through 2020."

^^^^^ THIS = corruption

But I'm sure that it's only blue school districts have been caught doing this 👍
 
Go get a room you two,no need to jerk off in the PB, lots of other forums on Lit for that.....

No it's not corruption. That is where your stupid starts!!

It's a problem of the school system. It is now required to pass through students since failure is not an option, because parents don't want their children to be failed and have to spend extra years gaining their high school diplomas.
Also:
Psychologist have shown that students who fail also suffer from this mentally as well. The generic term is "School Failure". Students often start a negative spiral after failing to advance, leading to dropping out of school. Even though they are intellectually able to succeed.

There are a range of disorders that children grow out of or can be controlled, such as ADHD which contribute to the difficulty to succeed in the early years of school.

The push for this "advance in grades" has been and always lead by parents....the school boards have just caved in to the pressure over the decades ( from parents and professionals). Implemented systems to offer extra support to children who are "bumped" ahead.

Myself I do not agree with this, but, having had a child who did suffer from ADHD, who still graduated with his friends, I am not sure if they were better served mentally by this process, since through out the whole time in school they were always at the back of the pack, struggling to advance. Where as if they were to be held back initially in grade one, they would have been possible given enough time to catch up and leap ahead.

The system rewards schools based on grades, not need...which is why schools do shit like changing the grades.

That may well be the case in the US. I can only speak to the Canadian system experience.

Seems like if that is that case, all schools will change grades to get a bigger share of the pie....

Understood. My comment is specific to US funding distribution. The schools with bad scores are penalized rather than provided with mechanisms to increase resources to address the problem.

Yep, a recipe for failure in my opinion.
 
Nice try at ascription, but Botanyboy was way better at than you. Perhaps go read up some of his past posts to try and improve on your effort!!

I thought I was suppose to be bot boy. It's weird how none of you guys ever seem to keep your bullshit straight yet claim to be super geniuses.

And HisArpy is off on a tangent that never occurred (manly due to that reading comprehension problem he suffers from), he's now just playing in his own mind....*chuckles*

Welp there super genius, I guess you should bend your awesum mind powers toward considering that you missed it. Again.

I have never claimed you to be bot boy. What I said was, you need to take lessons from him....man your comprehensions gone in the tank....Carbon water withdrawal problems?
