A frightening report out of the city of Baltimore’s schools finds that in one high school so many students are failing that one of its top students has only passed three classes in four years of attending school.
The mother of a student at west Baltimore’s Augusta Fells Savage Institute of Visual Arts recently told Baltimore’s WBFF that her son will not be graduating this year despite attending the school for four years. And she wants to know why this has happened.
A major problem students face is the rising crime in Baltimore. Like the rising crime in so many other Democrat-controlled cities, Baltimore’s crime rate continues to spin out of control.

Common Core seems to have been a fabulous success. Covid lockdowns and mask mandates we’re an enhancement and zoom school was the winning ticket. Now gender transition sexual confusion and child sex grooming Drag queen hair and make up classes for boys and sexual mitigation of girls seems to have been a complete success. Put up the banner MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Everyone is at fault here:
1. the child's parents, for not holding the child and school accountable for his low grades:
2. the school and teacher, for not holding the child accountable:
3. the voters, for not putting responsible leadership in charge of the schools.
No matter his race, the child should have been held back until he passed each course....period.

This is what happens when Democrats are in charge and can blame every failure on racism instead of their own incompetence. Wake up, voters. Is this what you want.

Baltimore city and Washington DC are the only school systems in the US that gives out diplomas with an expiration date.

If mom let this go on for four years, the school may be partly to blame but most of the failure was at home. Results in the first year, total failure, should have been addressed then and not allowed to continue. But racism was the cause of all this not rampant and incredible stupidity. Ergo, we need reparations and to appear in 90% of all television commercials.

Sorry, but "education" is a honky thing that only whitey and the Asians do. Education is NOT sought out or appreciated in the culture we are talking about. Killing someone, robbing, prison time...those are respectable endeavors.
The failure begins in the culture. Everything else follows...

reminds me of a story out of Philadelphia years back. It was basically an emotional outrage piece because a student was accepted to a D1 college to run track but was immediately put on a 1year probation by the NCAA because of terrible academic performance in high school, she had graduated with a very low C aberage.
While the article was outraged at the academic probation of a minority student from a bad neighborhood what they SHOULD have been outraged over was the fact that this low C- student was the Salutatorian of her class. That means her C- average was the second highest GPA in her graduating class.
That is a failed school system.

"The report also found that even with the dismal 0.13 GPA, the student is ranked number 62 out of a class of 120. That means nearly half the class has passed even fewer than three classes in four years."
Did anyone in this class of 120 pass more than 50% of classes during the four years?

A little slow on the reporting -- this story broke in March of 2021.

These are the same people who voted for Kwesi Mfume over Kim Klacik.

Sorry for the second post - - but it just occurred to me - - - -
Wait until his Dad hears about this. Dad's can be pretty fierce - - when their sons fail academically.

The school failed this young man, but his mother didn't do her job either - making sure her son passed his courses, and when he didn't, get him a tutor, get him into a charter school, go down and ask the teachers for extra help.
My parents were all over my report cards all the way through college. I will never forget the semester I made a C- in French. It was ugly until I pulled a B+ the next semester. After that, my parents left me alone, and I never slacked off in French class again.

I knew an English professor and his wife, a Social Worker, who were in such a toxic marriage that they didn't notice that their 10 year old son was a non-reader.And none of them were black, by the way.

This is nothing that higher teacher pay and expanded benefits won’t cure. Or, another million dollar superintendent with a larger staff. It’s all for the children.

Sooooooo........ The kid can't read, can't do math, doesn't know history and is clueless about science. But he's now old enough to vote.
And this my friends is the future Democrat base.

Teachers pushing kids through the system to avoid being harassed by superiors. Hand out passing grades for "trying". Might as well give them participation trophies.

Don't schools send home report cards anymore? My parents were all over our grades when I was growing up. We were expected to do our best in school, and it was a particular thrill to be able to tell my parents that I made honor roll. While I understand that the Baltimore schools are failing, I have to wonder where this mother was in checking her son's homework, his test scores and his general welfare in school.
