    It still doesn't explain the fast differences.

    The school is also from Florida city.

    What fast difference? In the entire state of Maryland (the state in which Baltimore is located) the statewide math proficiency percentages for grades 3 through 8 combined decreased from 33% in 2018-2019 to 22% in 2021-2022. Who knows what Baltimore’s proficiency was in 2018-2019, I don’t have that data. But since the whole state has sucked for years I’m sure they sucked in 2018-2019 as well.


    Exactly. As a small town, Florida City only has one school with statistics available (34% proficiency) we can compare to the 7% proficiency in Baltimore. There are 6.5 times as many school children in Baltimore than the entire population of Florida City.

    Correct but irrelevant.

    Oh well this is very easily explained: students suck at math because they are so busy learning everything about how the entire world works enough to know how it should work so that they can go out and commit very informed and educated riots in their attempts at tearing everything apart to rebuild in their image.

    Our students have to be morons at some things so they can be genius Kings of us all in every other way. This is why they are totally prepared to mutilate themselves, vote, and have wild sex orgies by age 12.

    I don't think you do understand, the state and feds pay money to these schools to attend. Give that money to the child and parents to decide where they want to go. You'll see wonderful private schools open and yes they can use the money left over on transportation. Let's make this as clear as possible. The left has run education, the left has taken over teachers unions, the left has taken over Innercity government and schools and by any measurement it's been a total failure. Time for those kids to get a fair shake and the left is not providing that.

    Simple fix, make the test easier and funnel more money to the teachers unions say the left at least in the past.

    The problem is that we need all our kids educated.

    You are not proposing solutions for that.

    Illinois has 930 schools where only one in ten children can do math at grade level

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    'What’s also not clear is why some of the schools on this list are rated “commendable,” which is the 2nd highest of four possible ratings for schools. There’s also a big gap between how Illinois’ students perform on tests and how their teachers are rated during performance reviews.'

    'Six-figure salaries and pensions, and zero accountability for #Illinois teachers. 97% of teachers rated "excellent or proficient" despite dismal student outcomes.'

    'Just looking at 2022, 97.2% of teachers were rated excellent or proficient but only 29.9% of students can read at grade level. Meanwhile the new superintendent for schools statewide was picked from a district where only 2 out of 10 students can read at grade level.'

    Clearly the consumption of tax dollars by the school system, not the education of the children is the focus here. Sensible State Legislatures need to connect the consumption of tax dollars with the educational performance of the children.

    It should only to the surprise of a clown that results go down, when kids don't go school during the covid pandemic. And ZERO students being proficient vs 22% is a big difference.

    So what. You yourself dragged in all of Maryland and showed that Baltimore is totally different. Suddenly only the singleparenthoods are all concentrated in Baltimore, ey?

    If you don't find the topic relevant, than you might as well stop posting.

    Only clowns reject science. Only clowns conflate small Florida City with the entire state of Florida. Only clowns believe 33% proficiency before a pandemic is acceptable.

    No. I didn’t drag anything in. Just pointed out you don’t know the difference between a small town and an entire state.

    Baltimore is not totally different than Maryland in performance. The whole state is a failure on education. Baltimore included.

    That 7% was the topic. You just ignored it because you want to cherry pick certain schools. That 7% statistic came DIRECTLY from the OP linked source! Why do you think the OP posted it if it isn’t the “topic”? The OP never made the 23 schools with zero proficiency the ONLY topic. You did.


    SMH.

    No the problem is you don't want a solution. If allowing a kids federal and state money to go to any school he/she chooses that will actually teach them, isn't a solution in your eyes, then your eyes are closed.

    I don't see you disputing that only clowns don't see a massive difference between ZERO and 22%.


    What was it? 22%? That is totally different from ZERO... lol


    As if that's the headline of the topic. lol

    I’ve had my fill of your fallacies and incorrect statistics. You tried to use statistics from Florida and from Florida City interchangeably. You have rejected the conclusions of peer reviewed studies showing non linear relationships between single parenthood and school performance.

    I’m uninterested in your denial of science and inability to tell the difference between states and small cities.

    The OP included both statistics. That does not exclude the 7% statistic. If the headline of an article or study was all that mattered we would not have studies published or newspaper stories etc. Just a bunch of headlines. LOL

    The last word is yours. I’m very confident it will be a shotgun blast of fallacy. Knock yourself out!

    I only posted stats from Florida City and I compared it to Baltimore.

    I don't reject. I only observe that Florida City got a similar single parenthood stats, but their schools preform a heck of a lot better.
    So the ZERO student proficiency can not be explained by that research. There is a massive gap.

    And I sourced that the court has ordered that schools in Baltimore needs more funding.
    That does explain a massive gap, since I do not recall Florida City being in the same financial situation.
    Who knew, that money is a thing that pushes quality to a different level... right?... right?

    Typical leftist, more money more money even though it's never worked only gotten worse, yet somehow someway it'll get better this time. Whatever we do let's not look at the root cause because that may hurt someone's feelz.

    You say this, court says that.
    Also typical right wing. Don't want to pay up, but expect better results.
