| Baltimore City Schools: A Failing Grade Won't Stop Students From Moving Up | |
| 2021-05-29 | |
The school district said it was taking the new approach because of effects caused by the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... pandemic. Chief Academic Officer Joan Dabrowski said the new approach is meant to "avoid the punitive approach of failing students," according to CNN ...the organization formerly known as the Cable News Network. Now who knows what it might stand for... "This is not about a failure, but it is about unfinished learning and giving multiple opportunities, multiple onramps for young people to complete that ... learning," Baltimore City Public Schools CEO Sonja Santelises added. A high school student who normally would receive an "F" for a course will now receive a "No Credit" designation. For students in second through eighth grades, "Unsatisfactory" or "Fail" will now be marked "Not Completed." Dabrowski explained, "In all of these instances, we want to emphasize the word ’yet.’ Not completed yet, no credit yet." | |

| #9 State testing results for Baltimore Public Schools Percent Proficient - Reading 21% Percent Proficient - Math 16% Average Graduation Rate72% Given that ~80% of the students don't read or do math well, does it really make sense to keep a kid back a year so they can continue to not learn? If Detroit is an example, parents that care about education, likely send their kids to Catholic schools, schools or private academies. |
