Do you believe this school board is run by the lone republican district in Baltimore?
Do you know how many decades that democrats have been running that city? Did I just hear you chuckle?
So it might be worth really discussing that sadly....sad....state of public education, particularly in Baltimore. They have a notoriously awful school system. And it's not because of money. [link to TheHill]
Does B'more have any schools that excel?
My metro area is often thought of as the home of the 'Dem Machine', and it is an entrenched Dem stronghold if there ever was one. The School union is also solidly entrenched.
Yet, we have a high-school in the top 10 in the nation, and several others in the top 100. That's out of thousands of schools nationwide! I'll let you do the math.
But besides this amazing educational excellence, we also have some shockingly poor performing schools! How is that? How do two schools in the same system, same staff, same administration, same funding, same everything, perform so differently?
There's only one variable between the schools in this system - students. I'll let you draw your conclusions.
