The IQ problem can be fixed. First off it is easy to lower IQ, like weed smoking. Aspiring to be a weed smoking rapper meme. Guaranteed to lower IQ. Prenatal health can make a difference right now. That should be strongly encouraged. And embryonic selection and outright genetic editing. Within a decade or less this can eliminate the IQ thing completely. 2 or 3 standard deviation IQ increase could be done.

America has been dumbing down students. Republicans want people that regurgitate alternatives "facts" not competent self thinking students. It's purpose is to dumb down workers so big corporations can pay workers even less over time. You will accept crumbs happily and blame immigrants, people of colour and even women RATHER than plutocrats (the greedy wealthy that want to destroy the middle class).
I went to a ghetto school and I can tell you it starts early on in life. Some kids have deadbeat parents and have no chance to escape their lot in life. My parents would give me supplementary work at home and check my report cards whereas my classmates would skip classes and get arrested for stealing cars and shoplifting. As late as 11th and 12th grade I had classmates that could barely read and came to school to start problems and joke around in class. Well, I went to college, then graduate school, travelled the world and did pretty well in life. Many of classmates ended up in prison, dead, or simply disappeared. I now have kids of my own that I watch very carefully and ensure they are above standard for their level. Not everybody is that fortunate. Very grateful for my parents.

It's not just math scores. I had a freshman college student who never read an entire book until my class. He was so excited to finish the book and wanted to read more of the series. Kids in school are told what to read but it doesn't always connect to what they are interested in. I have no problem with parents input but I have a huge problem with books being banned because there might be cursing. People you apparently don't hear your kids on the playground or in the park.

No because that person would need to take some responsibility and accountability, too, at least in my opinion. By the time a young person is entering high school at 13/14, they are still minors in the legal sense and their minds are still developing but they're not unaware 1 or 2 year old children. They know exactly what they're doing and not doing for their own education and if they get passed through the majority would rather say nothing then demand to be held back so they can learn. That's the easy way out mentality that too many Americans have regardless of ethnicity, social class, gender, whatever. There is no push for self-discipline anymore and no one in positions of authority at home to ensure it happens. Too many parents want to be their kids friend or go the other extreme and beat them down literally and emotionally. This is one end result.

I’m shocked and super confused on how they get through life. I was astonished seeing the 1st grade math level does connect the dots?? So some high schoolers couldn’t get past connect the dots, simple addition and subtraction(whole numbers)?!?!?!
I graduated with a double major and work in a big 4 accounting firm as a consultant and even I can’t do that without a computer. Does that mean I am stupid?
There is a very, very simple solution. place online a free testing service for grades 7-12 in which children can sit to take three tests which get scored against, state, national and international standards. Tests would be free and unproctored. IDs would be protected. They would be focused on math, applied math, English language, and critical thinking. Results would not be scored by percentile but versus mastery. Kid #1: "I want to become a doctor." Scores 30% vs. State standards; 10% vs. National standards and 3% versus international standards. Parents would then be armed to demand accountability not only from districts but teaching, their own kids, and themselves. It would be a 100% truthful exercise. that would not cost much to implement. Better to have the "Oh shit" moment after primary school than to get it upon a fake graduation with 13+ years of paid for education now behind them.

And a lot of the young parents today don't know anything. Number one, they don't have any parenting skills. Just egg and sperm donors. Blind leading the blind.
The standards just keep being lowered----so much so that children as young as three should just be given a high school diploma and let out on the streets. That's how bad the educational system has become over the past 30 years. In one of my graduate courses I had to report two students who were reading on the 5th grade level, if that. They could not write a complete sentence, had no idea how a paper should be organized, and could not analyze material they were responsible for reading. They graduated from high school via social promotion. They were DEI students at a state college----and obviously learned nothing but were passed along to get that degree. Now, they were in grad school. Both were removed from my course, and they were dismissed from the graduate program. As one of those students told me, "I wanted to go to med school but I heard you have to keep long hours. I need time for my social life." I suppose that says it all. Nothing surprises me about education today. We hit the bottom of the barrel years ago; right now we are mining the sludge from underneath the barrel-----and it's toxic.
In Baltimore the mayor is a Democrat. The city council president is a Democrat. 10 of the 14 city council members are black. The city council members are all Democrats. The police commissioner is is appointed by city leadership. Baltimore's AG is a Democrat. The issues in Baltimore are not due to racism. The issues are due to culture. They are also the fault of the Democratic Party. The last Republican mayor of Baltimore left office in 1968..
Don't need to just stop there. The Maryland governor is a Democrat. The Maryland house speaker is a democrat, the Maryland senate leader is a democrat, democrats control both chambers by overwhelming majority. It's not an issue with state level republicans either.
If Baltimore's schools were all run by one company, its stock would crater by failing to provide what anyone wants, the CEO would be removed, and/or the city would terminate its contract with the company that's clearly just bilking our money. But we can't do that here because this is the *public* system.
It isn't the fault of teachers if the kids don't show up for class or the parent does not respond to letters saying they are not doing their home work.
Parents of children in the Baltimore City school system need to be made to put a bumper sticker on the back of their car or their house door that says, “Proud Parent of an F Student! “ 😂😂😂
This news is sad, but certainly not surprising. The politicians will use nice words in order to avoid upsetting anyone. The root of the problem begins at home. Parents are not holding their children accountable.
The parents are part of the problem. They don't dicipline their kids into learning or seeing the value of school. But personal accountability has no ebonic equivalent.
Math, (and Chemistry/Physics/Sciences) are not subjects that you can "catch up" with like Literature, History, and shop. The subject continually builds on itself. I even told my Masters '' Degree Chinese wife that: private school baby sat too many kids and they didn't think they HAD to learn.
It is absolutely amazing what democrats are doing to the children these days. I can't imagine what it will be like in 10 years. Tattoos and piercing in 3rd grade? Karma Sutra? Who knows with them...
Baltimore hasn't had a Republican mayor since 1967. Maryland has also only had four Republican governors since the 1950s. I know the people of Baltimore are really terrible at math, especially lately but you *must* be sensing a pattern at this point. You cannot be this dense... Can you?
This is a damn shame on all levels. I wonder how proficient the CEO is in math or anything for that matter other than talking out of both sides of her mouth and kissing the right asses. The shakedown needs to start from the top on down, leaving no one unblamed from these overpaid administrators and politicians to the parents/guardians of these young people. Everyone has accountability and responsibility when it comes to education but for too long it's always a fight between teachers and parents, with the upper echelon people like that useless CEO getting away with cushy talk-al-good-game-do-nothing jobs and kids acting like unbridled hooligans. Time to put everyone's feet to the fire and get real about this issue and maybe, just maybe, Baltimore will stop being seen as a sinkhole of hell.

These slaves were also going to be given free passage to Liberia by US government expense, but for some strange reason none of them wanted to leave the United States, even after the travesty of slavery.
WHY are we surprised with these results,,,, we don't value education in this country. We value SPORTS and ENTERTAINMENT. Hmmm lets see,, get good grades, go to college, get a degree ,and make 40,000 OR play sports, get paid to play in college and sign a multi-million dollar contract ,, LOL
STORY IDEA: What does the prison population look like? Is it filled with people who are uneducated from one of the failing school districts or community? @foxbaltimore who is benefiting from this school failure?
I’m just shock how schools out there are behind . For sure it need to be investigated because if they failing and falling behind they not going to do well in college . I think along the ways from elementary to middle these students didn’t get the basics n of course hs getting harder as it prepared students to college . So is either the staffs, students n parents but look into more n find a schools system that works n follow their model to reteach these students again . Ur getting paid such bogus of money n yet the students are failing n why so ? Do u even do ur job or care
So is math racist or not? 🤣🤣🤣 Continuing to blame everyone and everything for your own failure will never move the bar. OWNERSHIP AND ACCOUNTABILITY BEGINS AT HOME.
Math is not racist it's not being taught correctly. Math is not a slacker subject it's a foundation subject that requires outside studying, grit, determination, and the ability to learn from mistakes. At this point in time only teachers with math degrees should be teaching math. Students should have access to math tutors, several math books, math workshops and math competitions. I know these things cost money. You can get these by eliminating these useless and high paying job positions (like CEO). Shame on you Baltimore.
Which really scary is these tests were made by teachers so they were probably grading on a really terrible curve says a lot about the people we have teacher says a lot about the parents says a lot about the lack of discipline in these students
The schools need culturally sensitive lesson plans, for example: If Quavon buys 12 units of meth for $ 2.50 and sells them for $ 5.00 each what would his gross profit be? If 16 year old Tyrell is facing a murder charge and takes a plea deal of 15 years, how old will he be if he serves the full sentence?
@@KimLong-v4i If Connor and 50 of his white supremacy friends ascend on the capital build and 10 get shot and 20 get arrested for conspiracy and attempted murder charges . How how old will Connor be when he gets out if he takes a plea deal of 15 years.
Who is setting the standard of “proficient,” and what constitutes proficiency in that standard? Who decides what is put in the exams? This is in no way answered in the video.
This is terrible. This is why my wife and I make sure our kids are on their A games. On the other hand, I bet most of these adults aren't proficient either.
How does the lack of the math proficiency found in city high schools, equate to the abundance of criminal activity found on city streets? From casual observation, it appears the two are inversely proportional to each other. If we really want to solve the problem of crime & gun violence in our city, we must first make sure our youth know their "Three Rs". The basics should initially be taught in the home at an early age by two loving parents, living under one roof. Liberalism is not a solution.
Liberalism is not the issue. Both parents are working their asses off to feed their kids. They are worn out. Teachers are not paid enough, many working side jobs. No one asks them what they need, what the answers are and principals are predominantly coaches that have no effing idea what the teachers go through to get students to enjoy reading, math, and science because the schools pay for terrific athletics to make money and have a good sports program. Wake up and smell the B's that all these people are pushing. We have amazing people that are leaving the system due to lack of income, exhaustion and lack of respect. How would you feel is you went into work and a 6 or 7 yr. Old didn't want to do the project so he or she spit on your face. Do you want anyone to spit on you? Ask the damn teachers why they are leaving? Stop saying it's political. Kids are becoming monsters by the time they hit kindergarten...is that the teachers fault? I don't think so.
This was an issue before the "Pandemic."

There is a very, very simple solution. place online a free testing service for grades 7-12 in which children can sit to take three tests which get scored against, state, national and international standards. Tests would be free and unproctored. IDs would be protected. They would be focused on math, applied math, English language, and critical thinking. Results would not be scored by percentile but versus mastery.
Kid #1: "I want to become a doctor." Scores 30% vs. State standards; 10% vs. National standards and 3% versus international standards.
Parents would then be armed to demand accountability not only from districts but teaching, their own kids, and themselves.
It would be a 100% truthful exercise. that would not cost much to implement.
Better to have the "Oh shit" moment after primary school than to get it upon a fake graduation with 13+ years of paid for education now behind them.
What's cool is how the state makes homeschooling difficult.

Parents are their childrens first teacher...
It's not just the school districts fault.
And a lot of the young parents today don't know anything. Number one, they don't have any parenting skills. Just egg and sperm donors. Blind leading the blind.
The standards just keep being lowered----so much so that children as young as three should just be given a high school diploma and let out on the streets. That's how bad the educational system has become over the past 30 years. In one of my graduate courses I had to report two students who were reading on the 5th grade level, if that. They could not write a complete sentence, had no idea how a paper should be organized, and could not analyze material they were responsible for reading. They graduated from high school via social promotion. They were DEI students at a state college----and obviously learned nothing but were passed along to get that degree. Now, they were in grad school.
Both were removed from my course, and they were dismissed from the graduate program. As one of those students told me, "I wanted to go to med school but I heard you have to keep long hours. I need time for my social life." I suppose that says it all. Nothing surprises me about education today.
We hit the bottom of the barrel years ago; right now we are mining the sludge from underneath the barrel-----and it's toxic.
In Baltimore the mayor is a Democrat. The city council president is a Democrat. 10 of the 14 city council members are black. The city council members are all Democrats.
The police commissioner is is appointed by city leadership. Baltimore's AG is a Democrat.
The issues in Baltimore are not due to racism. The issues are due to culture. They are also the fault of the Democratic Party.
The last Republican mayor of Baltimore left office in 1968..
You spoke the truth. A lot of people don't want to hear it but you spoke the truth. Thank you
Don't need to just stop there. The Maryland governor is a Democrat. The Maryland house speaker is a democrat, the Maryland senate leader is a democrat, democrats control both chambers by overwhelming majority. It's not an issue with state level republicans either.
A dollar paid in taxes is a dollar down the drain.
If Baltimore's schools were all run by one company, its stock would crater by failing to provide what anyone wants, the CEO would be removed, and/or the city would terminate its contract with the company that's clearly just bilking our money. But we can't do that here because this is the *public* system.

Parents of children in the Baltimore City school system need to be made to put a bumper sticker on the back of their car or their house door that says, “Proud Parent of an F Student! “ 😂😂😂
How many of these students make it to college? Who would take them?
This news is sad, but certainly not surprising. The politicians will use nice words in order to avoid upsetting anyone. The root of the problem begins at home. Parents are not holding their children accountable.
Give those same tests to their teachers and you will get the same results.
Don’t count bsa, your scores drop to 4%
What type of math teachers are in Baltimore? These kids and teens need to learn something
How long are we going pretend money is going to solve this? It’s not v money that’s needed, IT’S DISCIPLINE!
The parents need to be protesting in the streets at this point!
The parents are part of the problem. They don't dicipline their kids into learning or seeing the value of school. But personal accountability has no ebonic equivalent.
The parents should be helping their children through elementary middle school.
Punishing the teachers for children that don't care to learn ads to the problem.
This is crazy
Math, (and Chemistry/Physics/Sciences) are not subjects that you can "catch up" with like Literature, History, and shop. The subject continually builds on itself. I even told my Masters '' Degree Chinese wife that: private school baby sat too many kids and they didn't think they HAD to learn.
It is absolutely amazing what democrats are doing to the children these days.
I can't imagine what it will be like in 10 years. Tattoos and piercing in 3rd grade? Karma Sutra?

It’s either there are no books to teach with or it’s become too cool to learn. With these test scores, the students may not ever overcome adversity.
Baltimore hasn't had a Republican mayor since 1967. Maryland has also only had four Republican governors since the 1950s. I know the people of Baltimore are really terrible at math, especially lately but you *must* be sensing a pattern at this point. You cannot be this dense... Can you?
This is a damn shame on all levels. I wonder how proficient the CEO is in math or anything for that matter other than talking out of both sides of her mouth and kissing the right asses. The shakedown needs to start from the top on down, leaving no one unblamed from these overpaid administrators and politicians to the parents/guardians of these young people. Everyone has accountability and responsibility when it comes to education but for too long it's always a fight between teachers and parents, with the upper echelon people like that useless CEO getting away with cushy talk-al-good-game-do-nothing jobs and kids acting like unbridled hooligans. Time to put everyone's feet to the fire and get real about this issue and maybe, just maybe, Baltimore will stop being seen as a sinkhole of hell.

Sir, I love the way you think! This is a great idea, maybe that’s why James Monroe worked out a deal with Liberia to take all of the freed American slaves. These slaves were also going to be given free passage to Liberia by US government expense, but for some strange reason none of them wanted to leave the United States, even after the travesty of slavery.
WHY are we surprised with these results,,,, we don't value education in this country. We value SPORTS and ENTERTAINMENT. Hmmm lets see,, get good grades, go to college, get a degree ,and make 40,000 OR play sports, get paid to play in college and sign a multi-million dollar contract ,, LOL

It would appear that the entire system is broken…
I’m just shock how schools out there are behind . For sure it need to be investigated because if they failing and falling behind they not going to do well in college . I think along the ways from elementary to middle these students didn’t get the basics n of course hs getting harder as it prepared students to college . So is either the staffs, students n parents but look into more n find a schools system that works n follow their model to reteach these students again . Ur getting paid such bogus of money n yet the students are failing n why so ? Do u even do ur job or care
So is math racist or not? 🤣🤣🤣
Continuing to blame everyone and everything for your own failure will never move the bar. OWNERSHIP AND ACCOUNTABILITY BEGINS AT HOME.
Math is not racist it's not being taught correctly. Math is not a slacker subject it's a foundation subject that requires outside studying, grit, determination, and the ability to learn from mistakes. At this point in time only teachers with math degrees should be teaching math. Students should have access to math tutors, several math books, math workshops and math competitions. I know these things cost money. You can get these by eliminating these useless and high paying job positions (like CEO). Shame on you Baltimore.
Which really scary is these tests were made by teachers so they were probably grading on a really terrible curve says a lot about the people we have teacher says a lot about the parents says a lot about the lack of discipline in these students
The schools need culturally sensitive lesson plans, for example:
If Quavon buys 12 units of meth for $ 2.50 and sells them for $ 5.00 each what would his gross profit be?
If 16 year old Tyrell is facing a murder charge and takes a plea deal of 15 years, how old will he be if he serves the full sentence?

Who is setting the standard of “proficient,” and what constitutes proficiency in that standard? Who decides what is put in the exams? This is in no way answered in the video.
I am not sure but the answer isn't to lower the score so more people are proficient. Math is math, it's not how you feel that day.

How does the lack of the math proficiency found in city high schools, equate to the abundance of criminal activity found on city streets? From casual observation, it appears the two are inversely proportional to each other. If we really want to solve the problem of crime & gun violence in our city, we must first make sure our youth know their "Three Rs". The basics should initially be taught in the home at an early age by two loving parents, living under one roof. Liberalism is not a solution.
I agreed with everything you said up until you blamed Liberals. It's the parents and the culture.
Liberalism is not the issue. Both parents are working their asses off to feed their kids. They are worn out. Teachers are not paid enough, many working side jobs. No one asks them what they need, what the answers are and principals are predominantly coaches that have no effing idea what the teachers go through to get students to enjoy reading, math, and science because the schools pay for terrific athletics to make money and have a good sports program. Wake up and smell the B's that all these people are pushing. We have amazing people that are leaving the system due to lack of income, exhaustion and lack of respect. How would you feel is you went into work and a 6 or 7 yr. Old didn't want to do the project so he or she spit on your face. Do you want anyone to spit on you? Ask the damn teachers why they are leaving? Stop saying it's political. Kids are becoming monsters by the time they hit kindergarten...is that the teachers fault? I don't think so.
Do they even know how to spell and write their names?? 😂😂😂
