Tying the quality of education to property taxes is going very well.

a user here went to high school in baltimore, i forget which one. he said the public school system is so bad everybody goes to private schools if they can afford, so the public schools have worse results

honestly i didnt even know a 1.0 gpa is even possible

never mind under it

KTT users from Baltimore better not say anything crazy from here on out on this forum.

@Doubledawg227

who deserves the most blame; student, parents, system? or is it shared?

obviously the system

it's not like kids in baltimore are dumber than anywhere else in the country

put kids in a better environment and they will thrive

agreed

Also the parents but u could argue they were apart of the system and just continuing the cycle

because of the system the parents can't make enough money to make the schools quality enough so that the students are motivated to learn. parents are prolly overworked, dont look after students as much as they should, and cause the school is s***, the teachers are s***, and the environment is s*** the students lose motivation...which leads to them finding anything they can do w/o a diploma to keep the lights on, leading to them being overworked, then they have kids who they can barely find time to look after...

System & economics

not trying to be an a******, but isn't the very bare minimum at LEAST a 1.0?

Thought that was 1.5 or 1.8

Dont think youre passing/graduating with a 1.0

Shared but parents/system have the edge.

4.0 = A
3.0 = B
2.0 = C
1.0 = D
<1.0 = F

Public school systems across the country, for the most part, are in dire need of curriculum rework and funding.

Kids are a product of their environment-- if the schooling system isn't fostering growth, then their grades and overall behavior outside of the school environment will reflect that.

It was a 2.0 when I was growing up

idk how it exactly works but isnt a D a 1? maybe those students have D's mixed with F's?

This is a debate amongst scholars. A lot of them secretly believe in Eugenics and wouldn't matter where you put these kids.
