Lack of heat is just a symptom of a much bigger problem. America is the richest country in the world yet, it has gone from a manufacturing based economy, to a service economy. With the low wages that go with it, comes the loss of the middle class life. Replaced by poverty. Ridiculous education costs prevents ascension to most. This is the long way of saying....no hope. 8 families hold 93% of the money in the US, while millions of Americans fight for the rest. Welcome to the American oligarchy.
Take all of jeff bezos money and split it to all americans and each would only get 250$. You won't be able to fix the problem. All you need to do is raise the property tax in baltimore the problem is fixed
To the people in this comment section calling this irrational: Could you imagine working all day to pay the bills so that your kid gets a proper education, just to find out they aren’t being given the bare minimum? I know that superintendent’s office isn’t freezing cold, so why is it irrational to ask that students are the same?
Besides the uncomfortable temperature, public schools are well below expectations and have been, by design. Parents.....the best thing to remedy this problem is to co-op home school groups in your area. Your government cannot be in charge of your child!
Taxpayers in the rest of the state are subsidizing Baltimore's schools, just as they are subsidizing all services for Baltimore's inner city--but it's never enough. It never can be enough because the problem is Baltimore. Far from expressing the slightest gratitude we get tantrums and accusations.
Jonathan Reynolds: That's a good question. Baltimore's public schools are closer to the top than the bottom when comparing per-student funding in urban districts. Why do we jump to the conclusion that the problem is that taxpayers in the state and country, who are already subsidizing services in Baltimore, are not giving enough? Is it possible that the problem is mismanagement in Baltimore?
Because the money is being stolen. They, by law, also must pay about the highest prevailing wage to get any work done. The dollars they haven't stolen don't go as far.
You guys may be badmouthing fox news about them covering other serious news but just take a look at CNN and all the other msm and fake news channels and see what they consider more important than your problems like all kinds of demented observations about Trump. Then see how little your issues mean to all those liberals if they are basically having a field day continuously reporting about that idiotic fire and fury book and nothing else.
stryfetc1 Yep, all corporate media outlets. The only difference is that they push some different domestic/social issues. Otherwise they both cheer for our current economic system, and for infinite war.
What's missing there? Black men. Where are the fathers? What happened to the money? Why aren't they rioting over what the Democrats have done to the(lack of) education of their children? Are they just pissed the "babysitter" has a problem? Decades of neglect? By who? Republicans? Keep pulling that Democrat lever, maybe tear down a statue, things are bound to get better.
This is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. School funding problems go beyond state and local governments; we have to take this fight to Congress and do something about the corrupting influence of private money in our public elections!
This is NOT the wealthiest country in the world. Stupidity like that is why our country is bankrupt.Please explain to me how a country with 21 trillion in debt is the wealthiest country? PLEASE EXPLAINWe are flat broke because idiots like you have helped to bankrupt our nation
Our GDP is over 18.5 Trillion. Our closest competitor China with less than 12 Trillion. We can pay off our debt as soon as we stop wasting our resources, which should be going into education and healthcare, on endless wars and favors for Wall Street donors. Why do you think I'm "stupid" for making suggestions like this?
These woman are complaining about lack of funding, when all the money is spent on police in order to keep their husbands and sons off the streets. Schools in the worst places in Baltimore have to have security to ensure the schools are safe, while schools elsewhere don't have this problem. Money has to go somewhere, and when security is needed other things suffer
Jamie Dimon the problem isn't violence in the school. Or the fact that funding is spend on keeping farthers and sons in jail. The problem is they spent all of the children's money to build these facilities instead of keeping children warm.
+Chade Scott, I think you misunderstood my first comment. The reason why cities like Baltimore and Detroit have security at their schools isn't because of violence in schools, it's because of violence in the neighborhoods of these schools. It's no coincidence that cities that require the monetary means to improve their schools, are spending more money on police and crime than cities that don't require additional school funds. If Baltimore didn't have a homicide rate equivalent to that of Honduras, then the city would have additional funds to spend on things that matter. The three main things that bring children out of poverty is safety, two parent households, and better schooling. Anything that improves these three things will improve a city like Baltimore greatly.
Jamie Dimon you nailed that one. I see it in my state here in the South. A few big cities have all the crime and all the same problems. All the same common denominator as well. THUGS. IF they could clean up their own neighborhoods and begin to have 2 parent housholds instilling some morals back into the equation there would be a lot available to them. If the good people all started tomorrow taking back their cities in protest against the problem they would have dang near the whole country marching with them in support.
Teachers commonly pass students who never attend..........and conditions that mean students that do attend, dont learn anything anyway. Why bother paying teachers,staff etc at all? Its a broken money wasting system.
Are you kidding? Inner city kids getting educated and working hard would benefit the entire country. As things stand, Baltimore is a drain on taxpayers in Maryland and nationwide who are subsidizing services there. But the problem is not funding. It is the culture of the inner city. Until that culture changes for the better, nothing else will improve.
Ramiiam you have no idea what you're talking about. Typical racist and ignorant narrative of what I see a lot on the RUclips comment section. Culture cannot change until the system changes. But it's easy to blame others, like yourself, who have no real thought on how to change things. First step is to stop redlining, gentrification, and end the ridiculous austerity scam. Then see that "culture" has nothing to do with "inner city" issues.
a damn sin what the liberal left-leaning democratic system is doing to these children.. shameful..a form of neglect and abuse..but folks still support it in almost every major inner city.. ..
I'll tell you I've seen this went to school in the south. In Kentucky it's not school management it's County mayor judges city management. Almost never state. Then all iff them would be affected. Lokkd local. Mid government
Remember years ago when Venezuelas Hugo Chavez delivered free heating fuel to poor New York families so they would not freeze in the cold of winter? How about the company that built the DAPL pipeline doing the same for Baltimore schools? Well we all know there will be Ice Hockey in hell long before that happens. PS: Someone should give the Venezuelan government a tip about a fantastic PR opportunity...
zürihegel- The people in Venezuela are eating zoo animals and their pets right now because their economy collapsed. They have to wait in lines for hours just to get toilet paper.
I bet the superintendent's office is nice and warm.

As Bernie Sanders says "Be Outraged".
I live near Bernie he's the real deal.
Ask Bernie Sanders to write you guys a few checks!!!

korzym to be fair, many teachers don’t want to work in Baltimore City. The lack of willing teachers drives up wages.
Mark Paren-Can you blame them?
Why this isn't getting any mainstream news coverage is disgusting
Jedi King Pudge because it's not rich white kids suffering

Jamie Dimon that doesn't make any sense

look no further than the city officials and the unions
All the hollering, all the screeching.
Black folks, please, please, calm down.
Teachers commonly pass students who never attend..........and conditions that mean students that do attend, dont learn anything anyway. Why bother paying teachers,staff etc at all? Its a broken money wasting system.
I know it’s an emotional issue, but the screaming and irrational behavior?!!!
you get what you vote for. You keep voting democrat.
As opposed to republican...
Mr K Exactly. Republicans who don’t want educated people who will question them. Especially if they ain’t white.
Black vote democratic blindly. They the democrats have had control of the cities for over 60 YEARS!!!!!! And it’s gotten worst
Nobody learned from Detroit
No honest person would expect anything less from Democrats.
They get the weapon of educational nourishment from they parents?
If they cared, it wouldn’t be an issue.
U culd heat a pizza wiff dem purple weavez
Those people who are smart, good, and healthy should have children. Those who are not, must put it off for later time, when ready.
Burn the books and the desks
I'm a pretty conservative person, but, whatever the reason, NO American children should have to try to learn in a freezing classroom.
they are afraid people will get educated and work hard to prevent it from happening
Are you kidding? Inner city kids getting educated and working hard would benefit the entire country. As things stand, Baltimore is a drain on taxpayers in Maryland and nationwide who are subsidizing services there. But the problem is not funding. It is the culture of the inner city.

Or course you scream "racism." You know that there is a cultural problem, even though you must deny it. You are fooling nobody, not even yourself.
This is just sad guaranteed that money was misappropriated
omg this is happening to my school the school is very very and even more cold on cold days
No solutions-just emotions.
a damn sin what the liberal left-leaning democratic system is doing to these children.. shameful..a form of neglect and abuse..but folks still support it in almost every major inner city.. ..
or why don't you go to a public school
Liberalism
you voted for your situation
schools
crime
uh, I have a question, why wasnt the furnace working?
Warm temperatures won’t raise IQ sorry
I'll tell you I've seen this went to school in the south. In Kentucky it's not school management it's County mayor judges city management. Almost never state. Then all iff them would be affected. Lokkd local. Mid government
Was the issued resolved? Spring came so it became a non- issue. What about the 6 high schools not passing basic English or math?
Me me me me...ok Agent Smith
man will dominate man to his own injury!!
