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,

In about 10 years this will pay huge dividends for Baltimore. With kids too ignorant to hold a job, Baltimore will experience a huge cash influx from the Dem controlled Federal goobernment. It will be rainbows and unicorns cause Dems know incompetence and low productivity pay. Its a new economy thanks to Obambi and Diaper Joe! Gone are the days of excellence and hard work. Just get the rich to pay for it!

THIS is racism in its ugliest form - the failure to teach minority children in the schools where they comprise most of the student body.

It isn't just the CEO...they need to bring all of the Principals, and The Union Reps in, and give them a "Come to Jesus". FIX THIS! Or you are ALL fired. Rule 1: If the Student has not learned then the Teacher has not Taught! No excuse is acceptable for NOT being "Able" to do the Job you were hired to do. If you cannot? Leave...we'll get someone else. If you will not leave, we will fire you 'For Cause" and get someone else.

Many, if not most, of society's problems bubble to the surface in schools. Schools cannot fix these problems, but are somehow expected to. Not making excuses for bad schools here. Families are broken. Sixty-one percent of the kids in my JROTC program have had some trauma in their families: a parent(s) incarcerated, parents on drugs, kids who've never met a parent, kids living with aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, kids living with neighbors, and the list goes on. It's bad, but Baltimore seems like the poster child for an almost completely dysfunctional city. Why would anyone expect the schools to be able to fix Baltimore's massive family breakdown?

This is as much a national security issue as the border, law and order, the national debt and the FJB administration is all in. For all the screaming about slavery keeping people ignorant (uneducated) is one of the easiest ways to control them. Someone needs to tell Randy Weindgarten to shut up and go away. These kids can't read, write a complete sentence let alone construct a paragraph, do basic math. And you can completely forget about history and science. And they are passed on again and again. This is why they can be convinced that socialism/communism/progressive ideas are the best thing since sliced bread. They cannot think or reason or have a clue what freedom or a democracy is. Totally pliable and easily led.

Lots of contributing factors here. Teachers who are more concerned with political activism than they are with teaching basic skills. Children raised with no father, and sometimes no mother (thanks, Grandma). Low expectations set by the school so no one feels bad about poor performance. Throw in drugs, crime, and apathy, and you have a public school.

My wife taught for a year in a middle school in an area bordering on the city of Baltimore. She taught 7th grade. Almost every day, police officers would come to her classroom looking for so and so concerning a robbery or car theft. For years after she left, she would see the name of students she taught in the paper's crime file about arrests. Whenever she tried calling a parent concerning a student's academic performance, she would end up talking to a grandparent or aunt. Never the actual parent of the student. The thing she often was amazed about, was that for the most part, these kids were well behaved in the classroom. It was only after they got out of school that they many got into trouble.

#27 - Middle and high school Alegbra & Geometry for 3 years. I concur with your experience with this additional caveat - how many didn't put forth the effort because they didn't have the foundations (from both parents and schools) to even grasp the more rigorous material at the high school level. I experienced this 20 years ago. The probability that it is even worse now has got to be high.

A longtime associate of Bill and Hillary Clinton is facing up to six years behind bars after he pleaded guilty on Monday to one count of felony theft. Attorney Steve Bachar, touted as a “socially responsible” investor, served as the co-chair of the Clinton Global Initiative prior to his arrest in October 2021. As BizPac Review previously reported, the Denver district attorney’s office accused Bachar of stealing up to $1 million and then lying to an investor “in connection with the offer, sale or purchase of a security.” The crimes took place between October 2017 and August 2018.

The America-Last Biden administration is reportedly allowing hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants to request flights over the southern border and directly into the United States. The Biden administration has been trying to hide the true scope of the illegal alien invasion of our country through the CBP (Customs and Border Protection) One program. As I previously explained, hundreds of thousands of migrants every year can apply for a pseudo-legitimization through the CBP One app, meaning that the Biden administration was claiming a reduction in illegal crossings by the simple expedient of labeling many thousands of barely-vetted illegals legitimate. But that’s not the only disturbing aspect of the CBP One program.

Since Joe Biden has come to office, he has endorsed and incentivized more aliens to come here illegally than the populations of 32 states (counting the District of Columbia.) Contemplate that—a replacement population for any single of 32 sovereign territories. Doing the math you can also quickly spot that the 5.9 million people that have crossed illegally and not been vetted would be a replacement for the bottom 8 states/territories combined. Remember how it “only” took 19 individuals to execute 9/11? Well the interesting news here is that in 2023 the U. S. Border Patrol has already stopped 146 individuals currently on the terrorist watch list.
