Baltimore Principals Face Discipline For Student Absences
BALTIMORE - Dozens of principals in the Baltimore City Schools System face discipline after thousands of their students have racked up too many absences during this school year.
At a meeting of the school board on Tuesday night, the head of the union representing principals said he plans to file a class action grievance against the school system.
There are about 85,000 students in the Baltimore City School System, and this year about 22,000 of them are considered "chronically absent," meaning they could end the year with more than 20 days missed. More
More democrat/liberalism at work. Blame the principal for a student being chronically absent. Yeah that makes a lot of sense. IT'S THE PARENTS YOU STUPID MORONS! For the future of the children vote every single democrat out of office. People deserve better.
Yep 2:05, you are correct. Democrats in general are no good. Proof lies not only in Baltimore but 100's of other areas in this country that have been under democrat control for generations. Those areas aren't fit for cock roaches much less humans. Democrat policies do not work. They've not ever worked. All they do is make a gigantic mess out of things.
This has been happening in Baltimore alot longer than Mr. O'Malley has even been in office! My husband went to Baltimore public schools 40 years ago, and it was this bad back then. The parents don't care! Bring back Truant officers, and lock the parents up - bet school attendance will rise!
welcome to "Race to the Top". You are going to see a lot of people leave the teaching profession. No help from MSEA and their high paid lobbyists to stop "Race to the Top". All they are worried about is sucking the life out of local associations and their political agenda.
So if it's unfair to hold principals responsible for student actions (which it is) then why should we hold teachers responsible for those same student actions?
If you hold the parents and the children responsible, you will be called racist. It has to be everyone else's fault but not theirs. Low grades, bad behavior and poor attendance are blamed on the teachers. High suspensions are the fault of the principals. Nothing is ever the fault of those who won't work and won't behave.
All they have to do is show up in June and get their diploma. Failing any of them because they can't read, write, spell, or add 2+2 would be racist. Putting them in prison later for murder, bank robbery, and rape is also racist. Not hiring felons who can't read or write is racist, too. Failing to provide housing, medical care, food, and electric to single mothers who keep having children they can't support is very racist. In fact, every bad decision they made, and continue to make, is YOUR fault because you are racist. Stop being racists. Thats all we need to do.
Please re-read the article. They are asking that Principals meet with the parents of truant children to try to improve attendance. Principals should already be doing that ... after all, some of their funding is based on attendance! It doesn't matter how smart a child is...missed instruction hurts. Now, if only the judges would cease being bleeding hearts and actually lock up the parents of truant kids! I'll bet those kids wouldn't ever be truant again if mama was locked up for a week or so! (Don't even say, "Who will watch the children if mama's in jail?" b/c obviously mama wasn't watching them when she was home or they would've been in school!)

ReplyDeleteObviously the students are so charmed by Charm City's charms that their attention is diverted as they scurry to class.
OweMalley's legacy!
Do they want the principals to go door to door? This is nonsense. Schools can only do so much. This a parent issue.
ReplyDeleteI agree. The principals can only do so much. It is the parents. But who helped perpetuate the poverty and hopelessness of Baltimore?
ReplyDeleteThe mayor who became governor who preaches to Salisbury how it should handle its problems? That would be Jim Ireton's beloved Martin O'Malley.
I wonder how many Bureaucrats can go a year without 20 days leave taken??

ReplyDeleteYep, salisbury and Wicomico county are perfect examples of your hypothesis.
