released last week showed there are more than 20 schools in Baltimore City that have zero students proficient in math. In fact, scores from the Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program revealed that Baltimore City Schools had the lowest math scores in the entire state. Just 7% of third through eighth graders tested proficient in math citywide.
I know all too well how important this escape is. Growing up in Ohio, I faced many challenges in the public education system. I was surrounded by poverty, crime, and low expectations, so much so that teachers were shocked when I picked up a comic book and could read it from the beginning to end. No one expected me to succeed.
After sheer desperation, my parents discovered the Edchoice Scholarship Program, and my life quickly took a turn for the better. I found myself in a small private school where my education journey could truly flourish. I didn’t have to hide in the bathroom to avoid bullies. I could truly sit, learn, and explore the magic that is a high-quality education. School choice literally changed my life.
Any school district with a 7% success rate for its students in any subject should not only be ashamed but held responsible for its utter and complete failure to educate children. Instead, the system makes excuses for itself. In Baltimore, for example, when Fox 45 asked Maryland Delegate Samuel Rosenberg for comment, he replied that he would not comment until “you do a story about students who are succeeding in City schools. You never do.
But the teacher's unions won't allow it. And they are spreading the money.
When things are run by democrats this will happen
Baltimores public schools show why black americans shouldnt vote democrat.
This doesn’t make any sense. How does letting a handful of kids go to a different school fix the issue of underperforming public schools
Question: Are those school's majority or solely lower-income students? That might be the problem and school choice won't solve that.
Black males leaving high school can't even do basic math in Baltimore. Public schools have become a joke
Teachers Unions have made education a production line. They don't want to have to deal with keeping a kid back so he can learn. They'd rather just move them along. Result is unemployable adults, frustration, drugs, crime, gangs, prison, repeat.
