Baltimore HS Senior with 0.13 GPA, in top half of his class, sent back to 9th grade

Dayum.
Being sent back to 9th grade edges out a 0.13 being in the top half of his class as slightly more surprising.

Chris Papst of WBFF FOX45 Baltimore opened his Project Baltimore report with a detail that sounds impossible until you hear the paperwork behind it: a student who passed only three classes in four years still ranked near the top half of his class, and now – after thinking graduation was around the corner – he’s been pushed all the way back to ninth grade.

If education truly is freedom… these inner city school districts (and parents) are enslaving these kids and condemning them to a life of failure

And they spend more per student than MS does.

If that happened to me I'd just be like ok I'm gonna drop out and play video games all day. Has to be defeating for the student, but stupid shouldn't be rewarded.

Anyone who watched the wire 20 yrs ago is not surprised by this.
Baltimore is a shithole.
And, like America, it ain’t getting any better.

It took me a long time to learn this, but even when the schools are bad, the biggest problem is still the kids themselves.

It’s the parents or lack thereof.

Would absolutely be stupid to go back to school. The guy failed almost every class. Maybe he can try to get a GED or something.

Read the long article.
It’s a strong indictment on the school.
.13 GPA, passed along, top half of class…
Grossly mismanaged.
You think going to a dmv in LA is bad…what kind of quality is running that school???

Clearly would be a 4.0 student if the school had curriculum not skewed by systemic racism

In the report, France asks a question that sums up why this story is so infuriating for parents: what was the point of the last four years if the school is now telling him it doesn’t count the way everyone assumed it did?
“Why would he do three more years in school?” she asked, and then she put the blame where she thinks it belongs: “He didn’t fail, the school failed him… they failed at their job.”
Uhh... did she not look at a single report card as a parent? Not ask any questions? Meet with any teachers?
And he was never a senior. He just went to school for four years.

The school let him down, but his parents deserve just as much blame.
Baltimore is what you get when you let corrupt libs run a the city and schools.

Doesn’t putting an 18 year old with 14 and 15 year olds cause more damage to everyone else than any potential benefit to someone who has already shown they can’t be helped?
