Baltimore public school system recieved a failing grade after the city reported that zero students in 23 different schools across the city are proficient in math.
Ninety-three percent of third through eighth graders also tested below grade level in math.
The Baltimore public school system boasted a $1.6 billion budget in 2022, according to Fox Baltimore. When divided by the number of budgeted students, the average cost came out to $21,606 per student.
Professors and political commentators expressed shock at the news and called for more freedom to allow parents to find better schools for their children.
George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley argued on Twitter that teachers are treating students less like human beings and more like captive listeners. "Teachers and boards are killing the institution of public education by treating children and parents more like captives than consumers. That cannot continue much longer before parents look for alternatives."
"This is a scandal," former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted.
Republican Senator Tim Scott slammed the government in Baltimore for leaving students behind and hurting the future of children. "Failed leadership in our schools diminishes their opportunity for a brighter future."
Scott also endorsed school choice, a policy that allows money normally allotted for public schools to follow students and help them go the school of their choice. "School choice expands students' access to a quality education, the key to America's promise." 93% of kids in Baltimore city schools could not do math at grade level. Failed leadership in our schools diminishes their opportunity for a brighter future. School choice expands students' access to a quality education, the key to America's promise.
Johns Hopkins economics Professor Steve Hanke summed up the failure of Baltimore schools in just eight words. "PUBLIC SCHOOL FAILURE = UNPREPARED STUDENTS = A DISMAL FUTURE."
Not 1 student was proficient in math, not 1.
