The mother is blaming the school but it takes all three of them, the school, the parent and the student, to fail that epically.
A man in the house might have helped some.
Missing fathers contribute to higher chances of crime, poverty, poor schooling, etc.
This is the legacy of the way Democrat’s have “helped” the black community over the past 50+ years. They don’t give a damn about their welfare. Only their vote.
the black community is the canary in the coalmine for the rest of the country. they have been the test subjects for many failed government programs going back to the 60's. any shrewd observer can see that same patterns have started to emerge in the last 20-30 years in poor rural areas. head down to west virginia and you'll see high rates of drug use, mostly fatherless households, high rates of criminality among men, and dying neighborhoods. and of course everyone is on some form of welfare.
we've been in an ongoing class war for the better part of the last century and the sooner we realize it the better. the country club set does not want the poor the crawl out of poverty.
If the student failed, that sounds like the student's fault. Had the school given the student an A without earning it or did not teach material/subjects that should be taught, then I'd say the school failed.
I'll say the school probably failed, too. There are all kinds of things we are supposed to do when kids are failing. The paperwork is tremendous. If I have a failing student I am required to have student conferences, parent conferences, and work out a plan with the student so they can stop failing.
It is entirely possible the school tried all this and simply couldn't contact the mother. In that case, I'd say the school isn't at fault. I think it is more likely that the teachers saw a kid who wasn't gonna pass due to chronic absence and total lack of motivation and decided he wasn't worth their time. The admin probably doesn't really enforce the policies so the teachers don't follow them.
The article said the kid was at the 50% or so of class rank. It sounds like it is either a really, really bad school or this is just a massive social problem they cannot fix. If I recall, Baltimore is one of the best-funded public schools in the country, too. Regardless, if I performed so poorly, I can guarantee my parents would have been all over me long before several years of failing grades.
Yep. The entire situation is outside of my experience. I can't really process it in any way more specific than a total failure for all involved.
The mother didn’t know her kid was failing. I guess she didn’t care enough to look at his report cards. Probably too busy goin to da club.
She knew he was failing, but the school was still moving him to the next level.
She thought her oldest son was doing well because even though he failed most of his classes, he was being promoted. His transcripts show he failed Spanish I and Algebra I but was promoted to Spanish II and Algebra II. He also failed English II but was passed on to English III.
Then she's an idiot. Everybody knows that public schools move failing students onto the next grade level.
