Considering that every student at THIRTEEN schools failed, there has to be some kind of administrative/clerical error. Given the level of dysfunction in that city, I wouldn't rule out a human or computing fukk up.

Either way, we need an immediate investigation to get to the bottom of this cause this is crazy.

If @Paper Boi is correct and it is the pandemic, then I say give the Superintendent 2 years to turn things around. If there's not a marked improvement by year 3, then it's time to :camby:

Majority of the blame goes to the PARENTS, that's one the issues now people pointing fingers when it's everyones fault
Excelling schools don't make this excuse. Parent engagement isn't the easiest thing to enable for schools. It's more of a luxury, not a mandate.

Schools can only control what they can control. They have to work with the kids where they are... regardless if their parents aren't shyt or not. If kids can only be good at math or any other subject because of their parents, then that means the school and staff really ain't shyt.

American education is fukked. Mixed with parents not monitoring their children's school work or just in general kids not staying focused. Whether it's urban Baltimore or hillbilly Oklahoma. It's a problem in entire America.

Why do you think so many asians get jobs in America? They are better at math. Natural sciences give you more good job opportunities than social sciences.
This sentence is crucial. Parents are busy, not present, and kids are given phones/tablets in pre-k. Then we wonder why they have such a hard time focusing and being able to even pay attention in a classroom setting.

Kids don't take education seriously, blame whoever. I have 2 nephews with all the access to resources they need, both fukking up. One threw away a D-1 college football career because he wants to smoke, the other might not even graduate from high school.

shyt is crazy depressing.

I can't find this but what was the exam results last year?
In the article, they said that the kids showed growth from previous years. So from the school districts POV, they can say they are seeing progress year over year.
:manny:

Yep, I have family that had a D1 track scholarship and pissed it away. Didn't have the work ethic to train, didn't have the focus to stay on top of their work without Mom and Dad on them, ended up going on academic probation and after underperforming in competition, the coaches were like...

:camby:

Very depressing shyt
