In an astonishing outcome, an investigation of six Baltimore schools found not a single student passed the state’s proficiency test in the subjects of math and English.
Five high schools and one middle school were surveyed in a probe by Baltimore’s Fox TV affiliate, which spotlighted one school in which 89 percent of the students had the lowest score on a scale of 5.
Scores of 4 or 5 indicate proficiency with the subject, but at Frederick Douglass High School, only one student got as high as a 3 on his state exam.

Parents likely do bear a lot of the blame; however, this is in Baltimore and I'd be interested to know what the kids were being taught in their class. I've read too many instances in which liberal teachers went way off subject and used their class to try and indoctrinate students in liberal propaganda.

Parents need to be more involved in what their kids are learning. Need to take time with their children, helping them with their homework. And they need to talk with their children, to see what they're learning and how they're progressing.

I don't doubt that the above happens. I'd also like to know the student to teacher ratio. Sometimes the schools are so underfunded the classrooms are too large to allow for more focused attention. All the teacher can do is present the information and hope it sticks to some of them.

Amen. A lot of parents treat sending their child to school as though it is nothing but a day care.
