trong reaction to a Project Baltimore investigation, which found just 11 percent of the students at the best high schools in Baltimore City are proficient in math. That data is shocking but not surprising to one city family who felt their daughter was prepared for college. But she wasn’t even close.
Desmond Stinnie doesn’t need to see state testing data to affirm what he already knows.
“This is not surprising,” the Baltimore City father told Project Baltimore. “The children, they're not learning in the classroom anymore.”
He doesn’t need to know math proficiency rates or hear Baltimore City Schools’ reason for why they’re so low.

The Poly math proficiency numbers are skewed because of their city-wide, privately- funded Ingenuity Program (they privately hire their own math teachers), otherwise Poly's numbers would be around 10% as well. My daughter graduated from Poly and I was amazed at how disorganized the school was. She would come home with interim report cards that had her in the wrong classes. As a freshman, they put her in a too-advanced math class and a too-low-level English class. We didn't find out until half-way through the year and by then it was too late. My wife and I were new to Baltimore and heard about Poly and City's reputations and thought what could go wrong? No organization, no discipline, no way I'd send my child to a Baltimore City high school again. Take out a loan and send them to a private school until the City public schools can get its act together- in another generation or three.

Years ago when I was in school I was accepted to the citywide program and chose Poly.Back then I was part of a very small number of people who were accepted from my middle school. I wonder what happened.

@clanbigger4 Год назад

I worked co-teaching middle school math with an ingenuity employee.. outsourced a racist white Karen from Texas to come tell me how to teach in Baltimore fr ? Something needs to be changed it's a travesty. I'm sorry you went through that.

@FirstNameLastName-wt5to Год назад

If it took you half a year to realize your daughter was in the wrong classes, you failed as a parent.

@drewpatterson7917 11 месяцев назад

@@FirstNameLastName-wt5to Not if they are getting misinformation about what class their student is even in, "She would come home with interim report cards that had her in the wrong classes." You can't blame someone for bad decision making when information given to them is wrong or when information is being deliberately with-held. Once this commenter realized what was going on, they did everything in their power to change course from there, which is the most that anyone can realistically do - you can't solve problems you don't realize exist. Regardless, the school is failing as a school, which is the much bigger story here, let us keep the focus on that.

God Bless that father, I know where he is coming from. My son moved in me in highschool and was failing in his new high school, turns out he couldn't do basic math, thus he was flunking algebra. After tutoring him for a long time he was able to catch up and start doing it on his own, I am glad I caught it in time. After that I have 0 trust in any public school system.

Why aren't there marches in the streets? If this was police brutality issues you would see city-wide protests.

@ft1725 Месяц назад

The father has done his job. He probably coached her on reaching out to tutors and getting the most out of the tutoring experience when she got into college. She also did attend a school with a level of selectivity, meaning she and/or her parents had to be proactive in some manner. He’s also pulled his kid out of school and is providing a solution for the kid so they don’t have to go through what their sister went through. The father is doing his job. Now, I don’t know about the other parents, but he is doing his job.

Embarrassing

@Leoego 5 месяцев назад

Shameful, but not surprised. Teachers pass students along . But Poly was always known to be the school for the more advanced students, guess not so much now. Baltimore City education is a joke. Goes to show u a schools name and reputation, doesn’t mean nothing! Private school or maybe county school is ya best bet.

@ctbt1832 Год назад

Yeah, Sheila Dixon knows all about math, including the $600 that she stole when she was making a boatload of money.

@gordonreed3954 Год назад

Whatever could the problem be? Growing up Poly and City were respected and high ranked on the 60"s. Whatever could have happened to Baltimore?

@liam5382 Год назад

You cant teach people who dont want to learn. Its that simple

@courtneyschwab4301 Год назад

You sound ignorant. People WANT to learn. Children are biologically built not to learn in structured school environment with desks pencils and paper for 6 hours a day.

@girlsplaygames2910 Год назад

If that girl went to a military college I promise you she wanted to learn and was failed by the school, gov, and district. Not every student didn’t want to learn.

@my-1903 Год назад

@@girlsplaygames2910tha vast majority of kids in Baltimore don’t want to learn they smoke weed, fight play dice then repeat until the school passes them along and hand them their diploma. The schools will pass them along to claim false passing rates which in this case would technically be “actual passing rates.” My sister, who worked in Baltimore in 2018/2022 told me that they couldn’t give any grade less then a 50% if the student comes to school.

@gordonreed3954 Год назад

Did your crystal ball tell you that lol Open your eyes. Baltimore has changed

@drewpatterson7917 11 месяцев назад

While that is true, there is no way that I can believe that 100% of students in some schools "don't want to learn." Even if it were, it would have to be because the school environment is making learning seem worthless or unattractive. With numbers this bad I wouldn't be surprised to learn they beat students up for doing well. This explanation is helpful to explain why we will never reach 100% proficiency, but it can never explain why we would be at 0% or near 0% proficiency across this many students.

@ctbt1832 Год назад

Damn shame. Some of them teachers are only there to get their 30 and then they are out. There is no accountability. even at the trade schools, which they should’ve talked about that also but even at the trade school, they pulled out some of the trades that were there like nursing and years ago they used to have airplane mechanics in the same high school that the mayor of Baltimore went to, but that was way before he went there and they pulled that out.

There have been quite a number of RU-vid videos on the problems of Baltimore schools. When these videos show school officials, students, and parents, they are almost always African American. One would get the impression that there are almost no white students in Baltimore schools now. Are the white students having these problems too?

@ft1725 Месяц назад

Yes, just not to the same degree the blacks are. Their literacy and math skill rates are atrocious, but the parents of the white students are more likely to be proactive.

@ft1725 Месяц назад

NBA and NFL players are now mostly coming from middle class+ homes. A bunch of them are foreign and have been educated abroad. They still engage in debauchery, but it’s not because so many of them come from poor, uneducated backgrounds.
