As an educator in a poor community for the past 25 years, I can tell you that the biggest problem we face is student behaviors and the lack of consequences at school and at home. Teachers are leaving the profession in droves. Schools can’t fix a culture that does not value education. That starts at home.

It's mind boggling. My mom is on my ass about my grades. Not because she's mean or cruel, but because she's a responsible and present parent. She knows I'm learning disabled (labeled a "general learning disability", it's most likely Dyscalcula and dyslexia) so I need to be pushed more and tutored. So she gets that. Even if you're working 3 jobs you need to at least check in on your kids before you go to bed. Before you check your phone. Discipline is a major reason we have so many "ghost students". I'm in high school right now and there's some kids I've never seen because they haven't shown up all year but they're still in attendance sheets. It's not making me angry at the kids, trust me, I get it. It makes me furious at the parents for not doing the bare minimum to help their kids then blaming the school, like the school is supposed to be parenting their children. Parents are supposed to parent children!

So sad. This is why education is number 1 at my house. It’s literally the collective goal of our family. My daughter has always been at private school. Since she was in pre-k3 and is now a sophomore. And let me tell you it’s a real struggle. I drive an old car, use coupons, work a night shift and a side hustle and moved to cheaper city and now commute all to make it work. We also do scholarships and grants. Those parents with money that don’t jump through hoops to be able to afford for their child to go there like I do, they’re so involved. I’m talking about tutors, SAT prep on another level, the school is ultra involved too. Lots of mandatory things like community service hours, college entrance workshops, etc all geared towards to getting a head start. They do career exploration, so many things that I have never heard about in public schools. Collectively their students get millions in scholarships for college every year. Which is crazy because so many of them don’t even need it. I know it’s not an option for all, which is why I am so grateful to be able to provide that for her even if it is an incredibly difficult thing to keep up.

@@jodame3925 as I said before, THIS story is about THIS CHILD, not everyone else. There’s definitely a problem with the school system, but that’s not the topic at hand. It’s this child’s situation not the whole school’s. So let’s stay on topic. His mother failed him. It’s not a hard concept to grasp.

More than $15,000 per student and teachers are still having to buy their own school supplies. And it’s certainly not going into the teachers paychecks. Where is the money going?

Not all the teachers are to blame.

Where is the outcry and where is the oversight from the district office and the school board . How could students be missing classes needed for graduation. They need to hold these leaders accountable. Also, parents have to become more aware of what's going on in these schools. They need to be more involved. We need to stop hiring people based on emotions. I'm nauseous just listening to the CEO. What will happen to these children?

In Baltimore the mayor is a Democrat. The city council president is a Democrat. 10 of the 14 city council members are black. The city council members are all Democrats. The police commissioner is is appointed by city leadership. Baltimore's AG is a Democrat. The issues in Baltimore are not due to racism. The issues are due to culture. They are also the fault of the Democratic Party. The last Republican mayor of Baltimore left office in 1968.

How did this happen for so long w/o parents fighting back? To have kids who can't read or do simple math? How did that one kid get to his senior year passing only 3 classes? Is the machine so powerful that parents didn't dare to complain or were any threatened? Why is Baltimore paying the school CEO over 444k a year? It's just a complete failure & the kids are paying the price. People need to get behind vouchers for school choice. The city has had more than enough time to fix problems. Now give the parents & kids a chance!

2 problems here are the culture and the incentives facing political institutions rather than private, capitalist institutions. IRS and Census data show that during the first half of the twentieth century, black Americans had lower rates of homicides, fatherlessness, venereal diseases, teenage pregnancy, and general rates of crime. This happened when the supposed causes of the social pathologies, legacy of slavery, legacy of Jim Crow, redlining, etc. were WORSE in that time period. When the welfare state and the accompanying vision was established, the socioeconomic conditions were RAISED and yet the social pathologies also raised. This would not happen in a private/capitalist system. Simply put, the fact that the owner is legally entitled to the debt they accrue forces the owners to change course and actually provide people what they want. Government has no competition and faces none of the punishments for using scarce resources optimally because it’s all covered by the infinite pool that is the tax payer

My mother was a teacher in Baltimore City for 40 years and near the end of her career she was prohibited fro failing most students by the administration. Also he students sent back to her class that she removed for disruption. I graduated for one of the best public high schools in the city and if you failed, you were sent to summer school. If you still failed thaqt was it. You were removed from that school and sent to a lower school. I know people who graduated there and can't read, don't know their geography or basic math. My home towns school system corrupt. There are those who care but they are drowned out by the ones who want to go to work, collect that paycheck and go home.
