He didn't fail, the school failed him. The school failed at their job. They failed. They failed, that's the problem here. They failed. They failed. He didn't deserve that.”He failed, you failed as a mother, and the school and Baltimore city public education all failed.
My sister and my b-i-l do substitute teaching in Baltimore County. They say it's not unusual to have seniors in high school who cannot read or write; they have just been socially promoted through the grades.
How are such people to get employment?
This is a lost generation. And what is the solution? You can bet on it 100% that the Department of Education will need ...MORE MONEY!

Lets be fair on that social promotion part - do you want those bigger, older kids in the same classes with younger students?
I guess there needs to be some sort of lateral promotion track that separates the two. One that, if they can't be taught, prepares those students for vocational training suitable for their intellect and talents, or for their life behind bars.

How do these people get employment? These are the targets of the $15 minimum wage. They are employable only at fast food drive throughs where the cash register has pictures of the food items they can punch and the software does all of the math. They couldn’t count back change if their very lives depended on it.
