These Schools Should Be Shut Down And Their Staffs Fired

13 Baltimore schools have zero students pass math proficiency exam​

If you happen to live in Baltimore and are looking for something else to be incensed about apart from the rampant crime and government corruption, look no further than the public schools. The kids are back in class for the semester, or at least some of them are, and a public activist group has conducted a review of the latest round of state standardized testing. Across the city, 13 schools (that’s 40% of the schools) failed to produce a single student who tested as “proficient” in math. And most of the others didn’t produce many. This has resulted in some understandable outrage, with one public education activist telling Fox Baltimore that the city is witnessing a case of “educational homicide.” And there are parents showing up at school board meetings and calling for heads to roll.

These shocking results were brought to light by a group called Project Baltimore. Their leader has called on Dr. Sonja Santelises, the CEO of Baltimore City Schools, to resign. They point out that this is not an issue of insufficient funding. Baltimore’s public schools have a huge budget. They’re simply not getting the job done.

That failure to deliver is evident in this round of test scores. The standardized tests are scored on a ranking system of one to four, with four being the highest possible score. In the 13 schools in question, fully three-quarters of the students were given a score of one, the lowest possible. A spokesperson for the school system tried to blame some of the shortcomings on the pandemic and the issues caused by the schools being closed. But Project Baltimore isn’t buying it. They point to another set of standardized tests from 2017 where the same number of schools also produced zero students who were proficient in math. And that was well before the pandemic began.

These kids are being violated, any and all involved should be fired.

Shutting down schools will certainly help the children

Better act fast, before the government shuts down.

Hmmmmm....

Project Baltimore is an investigative unit of a local television news station. Their job is to sensationalize for ratings.

Of the 13 schools listed, seven of them are actually charter schools created to siphon money out of the budget for true public schools and run with the same lack of accountability and standards that private schools lack and that anti-public education Republicans have been pushing for now for decades.

And it couldn't possibly be that the real problem is the standardized testing, could it? Oh wait, the HIGHEST five schools in Baltimore only had an average of 11% score proficient on the same tests (this was also reported by Project Baltimore, but since it actually shows the bigger picture and not your ax to grind, I'm guessing you ignored that). And of course that doesn't even address the question of whether the test is accurate or even truly reflects student learning.

Just the black ones or the Jews too?

If teachers were all Jews

The country would be better off

Public schools suck

Many recent American presidents went to public high schools. Presidents Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson, Eisenhower, and Truman all graduated from public high schools.

You been on this story a while haven’t you?

Nope.

It was a story all during 45’s Presidency…but I don’t remember him giving a fuck. His whole move was just to blame the democratically run cities with no answers or solutions. Maybe Mexico could pay for fixing the education issue here, they were on the tab for the border.

What? They didn’t pay for it? No way?!?!

Sure stirred up the base of racists when he said they would. This story works much the same way.

So glad your Cherry picked “news” has finally caught up on a story that has been around a while.

Wow, someone really had a bad time in school.

Make sure your trigger lock is on, something like this usually leads to more kids losing their lives.

So much “fun” for the MAGA folks to yell and scream about everything and never have a solution except that it should be destroyed.

Reply to OP:

Local issue. You get what you vote for and the voters voted their priorities and the polite thing to do is just quietly let them set the example for others, Calling them out publicly is small ball (but a great thing to run on in your locality – look what they did!). Ain't Democracy grand?

 

[Chobham]

Singling out Baltimore is an easy way to create a focus point but the problem is nationwide and getting worse. Even states that rank fairly high in school quality have individual districts that suck.

 

[VinnyVeritas]

Teaching to the test precludes the necessary inclusion and tolerance training...

It's very en vogue in the teaching colleges.

And to think, we used to opine negatively about teaching to the test and now we long for the good old days.

 

[Chobham]

Well, when you start hearing cries that math is 'racist' you can be certain that your district/state is trying to claw it's way to the bottom of the rankings. Hearkens back to the days of 'Ebonics.'

I'm not sure Chubby graduated from public school, or a private one for that matter....

The covid shutdown was a shocking experience for many parents about their kids' schools. Now they are looking for more options. But public education won't surrender the gravy train without a fight.

I can see the gravy train objection coming: teachers don't make that much. That is true. The administrators get the gravy.

The COVID shutdown was a shocking experience for most teachers about how their kids had absolutely zero academic support at home. Now those parents are looking for someone else to point the finger at and blame. They already did the rush to put them in private schools and realized that wasn't it and they are coming back. Now they are aiming to take over school boards and pretend that will let them blame the districts.

Yeah, that works. It's all the parent's fault that teachers can't teach so the teachers have to groom their students instead...

How the fuck would you know that? At best, the last time you've seen the inside of a college was in the early 70s.
