The tyranny of low expectations. The community places no value on education.
So much for investment, empowerment, etc.
Evergreen comes immediately to mind by the looks of what’s going on there.
Ma'am, that's the culture.
So, teachers, being the liberals they are, simply pass these non performers on till finally they get to graduation where the hood gathers to scream like fools cause 19 and 20 year old Latishas and Treyvons finally be graduating.
Now it's society's problem. And a big problem it is. These leeches are sinking the boat.
Frederick Douglass High School
One advantage of his education is that he is much easier to read than most 19th century authors. If you have not read his Autobiography give it a whirl. It is a shame that so many Americans who happen to be black reject what education has to offer them.
Clearly, there needs to be boatloads of extra cash thrown at this problem. With more money, the teachers will finally start trying to be successful.
I know we all would like to think that, but closer to truth is this: when education was a privilege, people wanted it. And when they got the opportunity, they made the most of it. Then we made education a right. Now it's a requirement. Nothing sours people on anything like having it go from a privilege to a requirement. It's kind of like the joke about the sobering effect of wedding cake.
Evergreen is a disgrace——what the hell is the matter with the citizens of Washington??

These tests are racist obviously.
High school students are tested by the state in math and English. Their scores place them in one of five categories – a four or five is considered proficient and one through three are not. At Frederick Douglass, 185 students took the state math test last year and 89 percent fell into the lowest level. Just one student approached expectations and scored a three.
President Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos could discuss these education scores tomorrow, and the media won’t even discuss it.
Sad. Sad for Baltimore.
Time to shut down gubmint skools. Education is not a constitutional right.
It IS racism! It is the Democrats making sure they stay on the plantation. Making sure they will always need Big Government so they can get their vote.
Hopefully, Bethany College will have tutoring available for him, because he wasn’t given the opportunity to learn at grade level in Baltimore. Those who manage to bloom in such an arid place deserve some extra attention.
“I will guess that what the state of MD considers to be “proficient” is not exactly advanced, either. This is horrendous. I wonder how many of these students are beyond a 7th grade proficiency at better schools?”
They’s been too busy larnin how to screw and how to hold a pistol sideways. I’d suggest that Nancy Pelosi (D’Alessandro) needs to go home and help “her people.”
It’s because they are proficient in rioting
A large number of these kids are young businessmen who excel in weights & measures and monetary issues.
The real problem isn’t with the teachers or principals.
