They Failed Him/We Passed Him

[Snaggletiger]

Saw this piece on foxnewz. I am a gay twerker that has no balls!!!!  I also have no idea how to use the quote function to post stories, so I annoy the piss out of others.  I like male genatalia in and around my mouth..  Read the article and see if you agree with me that on one hand, the system is broken beyond belief.  On the other, this woman needs to be punched in the face multiple times.  Great to see how involved you are in your kid's life. Emphasis all my own.


A Baltimore high school student failed all but three classes over four years and almost graduated near the top half of his class with a 0.13 GPA, according to a local report. 
Tiffany France, the mother of the failing student, thought her son would be receiving his diploma from Augusta Fells Savage Institute of Visual Arts in June. However, she was surprised to discover that he is being sent back to the ninth grade to start over.
"He's stressed, and I am, too. I told him I'm probably going to start crying," France told FOX 45 Baltimore.

France expressed frustration with the school, asking why her son would have to complete three more years of high school after "the school failed him." 
France's son failed 22 classes and was late or absent 272 days over his first three years of high school. Only one teacher requested a parent-teacher conference, but France said that didn't happen. Despite this, her son still ranked 62nd in his class out of 120 total students.

"The school failed at their job. They failed. They failed, that's the problem here. They failed. They failed. He didn't deserve that," she said.
FOX 45 found that hundreds of students are flunking classes at the Augusta Fells Savage Institute of Visual Arts in west Baltimore.

France says she has three children and works three jobs, and didn't realize her son was failing until February. Even though he was failing classes, the school continued to promote him; after failing Spanish I and Algebra I, for example, the school still allowed him to take Spanish II and Algebra II.
"I'm just assuming that if you are passing, that you have the proper things to go to the next grade and the right grades, you have the right credits," France told FOX 45.
She continued: "I feel like they never gave my son an opportunity, like if there was an issue with him, not advancing or not progressing, that they should have contacted me first, three years ago."

Augusta Fells did not immediately respond to an inquiry from Fox News. An administrator for Baltimore City Public Schools who spoke on the condition on anonymity told FOX 45's investigative team that the high school did fail France's son.

"I get angry. There's nothing but frustration. We see on the news the crime that occurs, the murders, the shootings, we know that there are high levels of poverty in Baltimore," the administrator said. "Things like this are adding to that. His transcript is not unusual to me. I've seen many transcripts, many report cards, like this particular student."
The school district sent a two-page statement to FOX 45 saying students had received letters in the mail informing them of their academic status over the summer and that parents receive automated voice messages when students miss class. The district also said it conducts home visits to check in on students, but France said no one checked in on her son.

"City Schools is reviewing actions that impacted student outcomes at the Augusta Fells Savage Institute of Visual Arts before the 2020-2021 school year," the statement reads. 
France pulled her son out of the school, and he is currently enrolled in an accelerated program that could allow him to graduate in 2023.

Only an idiot feels government education has NOT failed us. 

Therefore, this is not a surprise.

This is eight ways to fucked up but I find it terribly disingenuous for her to have any morale outrage at the system that she herself as the supposed parent, was not staying on top of.  So for three year you never asked the questions that would give the clue that your son is not doing what he should?  If she doesn't care at the time, then it is hard to expect the teachers to care (or be forced to do the right thing) either.

Late or absent 272 days in the first 3 years.  Mom didn’t know or care and the school didn’t take the time to contact her about it?  That shit would have happened for one week with me and the school and my parents would have been up my ass.  And that’s at Jeff Davis.

Surely you can't expect her to stop tik toking and SJW'ing with her obamaphone at every police traffic stop long enough to see if her boo is going to class.  It's the system that done failt him.  You know...the one that is so full of systemic racism.

The only thing surprising about this is that the dude was apparently not worth a damn at any sport.
