President Trump’s executive order earlier this year to dismantle the Department of Education comes as the president highlighted a disturbing and inconvenient truth about Baltimore City’s Democratic Party-run “failure factory” school system: 40% of public high schools have zero students proficient in math. This damning statistic follows eight years of Fox45 investigative reporter Chris Papst’s coverage of the crime-ridden city’s education crisis. Keep in mind, the metro area is mainly controlled by leftists at City Hall, with virtually no diversity when it comes to Republicans holding positions of power.
A new report by Papst released this past week may catch the White House’s attention, highlighting yet another inconvenient truth about the stunning failure of Baltimore City Public Schools in terms of academic outcomes, proving that simply throwing more taxpayer funds at the problem is not a viable solution.
Papst spoke with Carl Stokes, a former Baltimore City Council member and charter school operator, who was visibly frustrated when asked about the fact that for the fourth consecutive year, not a single student tested proficient in math at Achievement Academy in northeast Baltimore.
Here’s the Papst–Stokes conversation, woven into the report on yet more failures from Baltimore:
“You’re shaking your head,” Project Baltimore’s Chris Papst noted of Stokes during an interview.
“Well, of course,” replied Stokes. “How long have we been talking about this?”
Stokes, for years, has been talking about the lack of education for many students in Baltimore City Public Schools.
“They do a horrible job,” Stokes remarked.
Now, Stokes is responding to what Fox45 News discovered in the recently released results for the state known as MCAP – the Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program.
“That school should be closed,” stated Stokes.
Time for NEW teachers, NOT students.
It’s not aways the teacher’s fault a 1152
Time for new governor who will see that eligible people get hired as teachers, not affirmative action employees. All he wants is DEI hires and it shows. That turd must go!!!!!!!
they havent thrown enough money at it
Our most highly-educated superiors are the biggest failures when it comes to ROI.
