BALTIMORE (WBFF) — New details are emerging in an ongoing Project Baltimore investigation. As Fox45 News reported earlier this week, the Maryland Department of Education removed state test results from its website and hid the data from the public. The state says it’s protecting student privacy, but the move is drawing criticism.
“Enhanced deidentification” is a term that’s recently been used by the Maryland State Department of Education.
“It’s just that that sounds like something out of a Stanley Kubrick movie,” said Lucy Dalglish, Dean of the Philip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of Maryland.
Dalglish described the term as “ludicrous.”
The truth is that, collectively, Maryland students are not making the grade in comparison to the supposedly, high standards, set by MSDE. This is yet another attempt to move the goal post around, hide the data, and proclaim what a wonderful job everyone is doing. Meanwhile, the pack descends on the Inner Harbor, destroying business and the entire city of Baltimore collapses into self inflicted chaos.
Here’s a really radical thought. I’m sure I’ll draw many positive responses, but here goes.
Hold people accountable for their actions and stop making excuses. Period. Enforce the laws and rules already in place, and regarding schools, set the bar high to compete with the rest of the world. Not everyone is cut out for college. Not everyone succeeds in life. Not everyone get a trophy.
How else would you expect the most highly-educated amongst us to achieve TRANSPARENCY?
This means they are protecting very poor teachers not doing their job
