There are several factors but jokers are either gonna post 16 variables or focus on 1 (predictably the parents). It's probably a combination of (in no order):
- Home Culture aka Parents
- School Culture--both students and admin.
- Local Public Resources
- Socio-Economics of Parents
- Individual Students
- Social Networks
This is all facts and I think that this is where we have to start.
YOU WERE GIVEN A BAD HAND, YOU DIDN'T MAKE THIS SITUATION, WHITE SUPREMACY DID AND WHITE SUPREMACY WILL CONTINUOUSLY TRY TO KEEP YOU HERE...NOW LET'S FIX IT.
I feel like coming in with that mind state is necessary...if we don't have an understanding that we are sabotaged then we will be confused once we rebuild and are sabotaged again. We need to understand that they are coming for us and there will never be a point where we can rest.
Endgame is:
- Prison Pipleline
- Dead
- Low-End Careers
The few that do thrive and go beyond the hood can't make a difference in the staggering wealth/education disparity.
Either way, ADOS are kept down...

If a school has students failing miserably at this rate that's an indictment on the teachers and their teaching qualities and the district should fire them for allowing/aiding their students to fail without attempts of trying to improve the situation.
A teacher has all year to notice their students not performing well academically and has enough time to fix the problem. Sitting in class supposedly “teaching” while allowing the kids to fail and not do anything about it while you collect a paycheck isn't a part of the agreement between you and the district nor the parents.
It's not always the parents. The parents sent their kids to school because they trusted you to educate their children since you're supposed to be skilled in that profession. It's their job to make sure every child in their classroom is learning and performing well.
Do y'all just love to stereotype Black Parents as everything bad under the sun and make it sound like the kids are just naturally stupid and unteachable? Yeah, I know a lot of you guys despise certain classes of Black Ppl and think and speak negatively about them every chance you get. Pure cac shyt.

A literal retard could get those grades.
And the sad part is, a city student gets MORE money put towards them than a county student. They have MORE resources than the county and STILL can't get it together.

treat school like it’s not essential and like these inner city students have all the same access, advantages and support their more affluent peers have to do 1.5 yrs of distance learning teacher brehs
kids and families are failing themselves but teachers and government failed vulnerable students big time during this pandemic as well
Yup, passing them, they are unprepared, may fail high school/college as a result, won't get a job, resort to crime, or create broken families that can do that for them

Anybody here ever been to Baltimore? Especially West Baltimore?
There needs to be an entire culture shift that values education in these communities. You look at a lot of Nigerians and Asians, there's a culture present that places heavy value on education and competition scholastically. Often that is the case regardless of economic background. Not always the case, but often enough that they have a well earned reputation. You don't see that enough in black communities.
Black teens especially males will be competitive in sports, rip on each other over shoes and clothing and haircuts and girls, but when it comes to the books......that's another story. Until black people collectively wake up and recognize that they're not in competition with themselves, you can continue to expect poor results.

Baltimore City Schools are actually one of the most well funded public schools in the nation -
U.S. Census: Six Maryland Schools Among Nation’s Most Funded
Per pupil spending according to 2020 U.S. Census report:
- New York City -------------------- $26,588
- Boston ----------------------------- $24,177
- Atlanta ----------------------------- $16,402
- Montgomery County ------------ $16,005
- Baltimore City -------------------- $15,793
- Howard County (6) -------------- $15,595
- Prince George’s County (8) ----- $15,334
- Baltimore County (15) ---------- $14,122
- Anne Arundel County (17) ----- $13,866
But here's the thing...why can't those Nigerians and Asians make it pop in their own country? Why do they have to come here to make it pop if they are so culturally superior? This is why you can't compare us to them because if they faced the same barriers as us, they would just go back home. Your kids will not just be able to get an education and succeed...Black Americans have to raise kids that are READY TO DIE to get what's there. There is no pathway built for us to succeed like Nigerians and Asians have. Don't compare our struggle to the struggle or lack there of, of White Supremacies tokens. That's how you reinforce the model minority myth.

Breh, a 1. 0 means you not even showing up to class
You can put these kids in rich schools and they'd still fail

A lot of that money doesn’t actually reach the students tho. You got people working for the school board making six figures who don’t actually show up for work. I remember some report came out about people on the payroll who weren’t actually employees or some shyt. Or people were getting more than one paycheck or something. I can’t remember the full details
