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

Real life Billy Madison

And they spend more per student than MS does.

GPAs are skrate up racisss.

That show made me an anarchist.

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

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.

Expect little get less.

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???

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.

after thinking graduation was around the corner – he’s been pushed all the way back to ninth grade.

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?
