Baltimore City Schools: 41% of high school students earn below 1.0 GPA
BALTIMORE (WBFF) - Baltimore City Schools has reached an alarming low in student performance. Project Baltimore has learned, during the first three quarters of this year, nearly half of high school students in City Schools earned a grade point average below a D.
When Jovani Patterson ran for Baltimore City Council President last year, he ran on a platform that included accountability in education.
“They take. They take. They take. Yet, despite the amount of money they get. We don’t see much change. Our schools outspend 97% of other major school districts,” Patterson said during a 2020 campaign ad.

Read it and weep. American education is as low as it gets.

@Earl-of-Trumps
When kids are not in the classroom, they see themselves as not being in school. The fact that many passed at all is a reflection of begging them to turn in anything and pressure on teachers to pass students.
Things will get better when school is actually in person.
@earl-of-trumps saidThis is what happens when charter schools gain a foothold in a state and start siphoning off public funds that used to go to real schools.

They're not in business to provide quality education. They're in business to take public money.
@suzianne saidIn Oklahoma Charter schools get less money per kid than other public schools.

The only charter schools that make money are charter schools that are purely virtual.

Why is it that liberals think that spending more money ensures a better education? It doesn't. What works is
teachers and parents making sure the student does assignments and administrators that make sure the curriculum is followed.
One last word here. Charter schools take financing yes, but it comes from the savings that
the district makes by having fewer students to teach. Your argument is a lost canard.
Liberals hate it when people prove they can succeed without the help of big brother government. Hate it.
Just to be clear, i Oklahoma there are charter schools and enterprise schools. Charter schools must take all kids that apply or do a lottery if there are not enough slots.
Enterprise schools can set academic minimum requirements. These are the schools that suck all the top kids out of public schools, not charter.
I do not know if other states make such distinctions.
@earl-of-trumps saidAt least they're not being coddled like Millenials, thrown a bunch of free A's to make the administrators and teachers look good.

@earl-of-trumps saidA couple points here. Yes, funding does not a good school make. But funding is necessary for running a school. This sounds like a statement simply stating that the schools are not underfunded.

Second point on charter and private schools: they are very good at picking up and enrolling the high-achieving students. This makes public high schools worse by default, and creates a culture in which they are surrounded by the low-achievers and those coming from difficult household situations. It's very difficult to teach when few are listening.
@wildgrass saidSo you are saying A's are given after students turn in less than half of the work assigned?
At least they're not being coddled like Millenials, thrown a bunch of free A's to make the administrators and teachers look good.
Many of these kids were passed after doing less than half the work assigned.
