All the better to boost the Dem voter rolls...


Earlier this year, Fox 5 Baltimore reported that "Results from the 2024 state test show nearly a third of all Maryland students who took the math exam last year scored in the lowest level of proficiency" and only 2% scored in the highest level of proficiency. Eight of the city's high schools had zero students who were proficient in math at all. Even worse, this is considered a "slight improvement" over last year's numbers. In 2023, zero students in 13 Baltimore high schools tested proficient in math.

So this is their solution:
At the beginning of the school year, State Superintendent Carey M. Wright announced that the state of Maryland would partner with the philanthropic organization Arnold Ventures to pay $20 million to Saga Education, a Massachusetts company that offers "high-impact, in-school tutoring." In a statement released by Governor Wes Moore's office, Wright said, "“High-impact tutoring is backed up by research and data when it comes to addressing the pandemic's impact on student learning. This investment in our students will pay off as we scale up successful strategies, moving more students towards better academic outcomes. We are excited to see the benefits of this partnership."

This is what I was talking about in that other thread - spending enormous sums of money on consultants to do the job of the people who are already being paid to do that job. No doubt there's a kickback or 8 or 10 involved.

Money isn't the problem with poorly performing schools - it's the give-a-sh*t factor. Democrat Mayors don't give a sh*t about no kids, all they care about is looting the state/city coffers and lining their own pockets. The Democrat Governors don't give a sh*t either - just a bunch of poor black kids, who cares. It's not like their parents will stop voting Democrat, so **** 'em.

Baltimorons voted for this, and it's fine with me if they get it. We are government of the people, and the people in B'more have spoken.

well, pro sports franchises have a minor league, industrial league and even college prospects "evolving", to sustain their standings and heritage.
why cant Morons have a triple A, double A or even a junior high prospect?

Democrat Mayors and the head of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) don't give a sh*t about no kids, all they care about is looting the state/city coffers and lining their own pockets. The Democrat Governors and many in the AFT rank and file don't give a sh*t either - just a bunch of poor black kids, who cares. It's not like their parents will stop voting Democrat, so **** 'em.

When kid was in school I had interaction with many of the faculty. Many of them were highly dedicated educators, the others made me wonder how they got a teaching certificate yet there they were! Two minutes of conversation was all it took to realize who should not be teaching children.

Ah, the mating call of the well positioned member of the Educational-industrial complex.

Every once in a while I let an argument start where some leftie tries to tell me that Republican led states have inferior schools. And they will cite all the great school data while ignoring stuff - like this.

Fact is, pretty much ALL large Democrat led cities have schools with results like Baltimore’s.

Not to mention their favorite targets are Mississippi, Bama and Louisiana which have a large ignorant colored population. Their rankings
would be MUCH higher without.

That did come up. And I mentioned those are also the POOREST states in the nation. Yet DC manages to spend obscene amounts of money per pupil - and STILL turns out kids who can’t read or do math.

Also some of the worst school rankings and data - California. Any guesses?

I do think we’d be better off if we could just solve problems instead of trying to find a scapegoat and score political points.
