Student to Baltimore councilman: When schools ‘look like prisons, what do you expect us to become?’

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Baltimore Councilman Zeke Cohen proposed an emergency resolution Monday in support of Baltimore City Public School students.

When speaking about his proposal, Cohen said he spoke with students about the conditions at theirs schools.

One student said he couldn’t tell the difference between the temperature in his classroom, and the temperature outside.

He said another student asked him, “When you send us to schools that look like prisons, what do you expect us to become?”

The only thing that will fix the problem with all public schools is bring God back in and kick the bad out. I belive most students deserve second chances but not 3rd and 4th.

So if the schools looked like CVS, they could just be looted and burned down?

Hard to pick yourselves up by your bootstraps when you can't feel your fingers. Now I'm well aware you all walked up a six mile hill backwards in the sleet and snow to go to school but how do you expect a child to focus when school becomes a punishment? Hogan is investing 2.5 million into the schools which is what MD needs.

Better move that decimal point on the $2.5M if you want change!

More important schools or casinos?
More important schools or horse industry?
More important schools or infrastructure?
More important schools or professional sports? (remember there are 3 major stadiums in MD)

Follow the money folks - schools are never in play!

Well, when feral thugs and thuggettes make every school a war zone, well... not enough money in the world cam change that.

Just look at JMB, an expensive and beautiful prison for the kids subjected to the thugs out of political correctness.

I think they'er also talking about the student population. Prisons are 80% black, so if the school is too.......

Hogan gave 2 billion to education a record for the state. He just gave additional 2.5 million to Baltimore City!! You want more money for change? How about trillion? Raise Maryland taxes 89 percent and keep giving the same people the same money right ?!

The schools look like prisons because of the history of violence perpetrated by BLACK students. It was reactive not proactive. You live like animals and expect the schools to clean it up or just blame Whitey isn't that what Blacks have done for years. Clean up your race tired of the same old rhetoric. By the way the BLACKS in charge of the money earmarked for the schools was never spent by those in charge of the funds therefore the had to be sent back to the state. Hmmmmmmmmmmm I smell criminal activity being covered up by Baltimore B.O.E. Black Lies Matter

We mustn’t disrupt the drug dealers in training, where else would I get my cheap heroin and reddy rock? Jeez, even the medical reefer in in Salisbury is so over priced, I’d rather just call “June Bug” on the east side.

The schools started to look like prisons because you already acted like you deserved it, not the other way around.

Listen.
Pay your taxes, salute your flag, give your firstborn to the army, and send your children to public school.
Your children belong to the community now.
So it is none of your business what we do with and to them.
They will serve us, just like you do now.
