This just tells me you'd let your kids fail in school
Failing wasn't an option in my household, my parents took no excuses.There are ways around everything yet y'all keep coming up with excuses. A smartphone is great, I used it to supplement my College math courses. There was also the library I used from time to time.

oh no, you went there.
It had to be asked.
There's no way all these Baltimore schools are 100% Black.

My pops always called them the "Quick-to-Quit" types. People who throw their hands up at the slightest of problems rather than looking for solutions. Libraries are a thing in every community and often have WiFi access and computers to use. The local community center might offer resources as well for students with tech access issues. There are options, especially in a metropolitan city.
My youngest daughter struggled a lot at first because she was in 4th - 6th for the heart of the pandemic and it broke my heart we had to rock her to sleep crying a few nights because she was struggling, thought it was her fault and she really loves mathBut according to the coli, your kids should've failed class and been behind because of the pandemic.
I'm willing to bet coli parents that have kids in school are doing just fine even after the pandemic.

So we got her a tutor and the whole house helped her get back on track

Khan Academy is damn good. There's also youtubers like patrickjmt. He's one of the goat mathematicians that make shyt so easy.
What about the culture in the schools/buildings? Kids are at school in a lot of cases more than they're with their parents. There are examples nationwide where districts are holding their students to a high standard and doing great things. (districts that are predominantly black)
Here's a superintendent in Georgia who turned a district around... 43 schools, over 25K students and 80% of them with free or reduced lunch
I went to an education conference earlier this month and a school district in the STL area was highlighted for their achievements. Black kids flying planes by 17 years old.

Although the decline in test scores spanned all racial and economic levels, research shows students in poorer neighborhoods were disproportionately impacted. This is bad news for Philadelphia.

Black people have to get serious about education. It’s not even all on the school, the parents have to work with their kids.
