We all said that but that don't let the mom and the kid off the hook for their role in him failing

0, zero, cero checkups in 4 years by a parent
Would you go 4 years without checking on your daughter school work? Yes or no

The mother couldn't give two shits about her son's education.

That's the thing. The people with the most to say, their kids ain't in that school or schools like it. The first time I heard of that school was on the news this week, and I can ring off about 30 schools off the top of my head

The school has about 400 students. That really small.
I’ve been to the shitty school system in NOLA. So y’all miss me with that shit. I spent 2 years in catholic school 7-8 grade and went back to public school for High School in a shitty city when it comes to schooling
Again. Why she didn’t check on her son in 4 fucking years. That’s fucking amazing. Regardless of where your child go to school good or bad that’s a shitty parent 100%
Blame the school and blame the parent more

the school is 100% to blame. sadly, because of the many failures of society, schools are not just learning vessels but tend to function as an “liaison” between the parent and the student. if the mother is minimally involved with her child's educational success/path (which is evident), it then falls on the school, mainly the teacher, to step in and pick up some of the slack. should it be this way? no but thats how it is— especially from a communal standpoint.
the balitimore school system has been under scrutiny for decades. this isnt new, there have been countless stories about Black students falling through the cracks. i mean horrendous shit.
then when you factor in everything else like deep poverty, enviormental racism, governement neglect and food insecurities, you tend to have shit like this.
its easy to blame the mom and its easy to swap stories about what you wouldve done or how you got beat in the head with a baseball bat for being tardy to class that one time in the 4th grade (im worried about you @BRIAN B.)
but its much more difficult to sit back and unpack the socioeconomic inequalities of Baltimore and why something as fucked up as this was allowed to go on for so long
i saw few comments empathizing with the kid. i saw few comments really outraged at the schools mistreatment of our babies, i saw MORE comments berating a Black mother, whose story you dont even know, and no matter how ridiculous the mom may seem to you (many of you are speaking from a place of privilege anyway) she deserves some empathy too.
one thing i learned as an educator that ppl are only going to do what they know and instead of judging someone for not moving in the ways we want them to, its really on us to show them a better way.
the school failed the mom, the son, and countless others and when you post your next article in the news section about the rampant crime in bmore, i hope youll have a deeper understanding as to why.

Because you’re asking me shit to negate my point. Which is a school being that bad ain’t just on those 100s of parents. You have to know this.

I was referring to his mom... dude feels black taught schools for black kids would have prevented this when the reality is the mom has her responsibility to be a parent and make sure to be on his schooling, to be involved in his life... the boy didn't ask to be here so its on her to be guidance...
and the child has one job, carry his or her ass to school and do what they're there for... he full well knew he was skipping school and he has access to his grades. Personal decisions of not committing to school and then being shocked when the damn carousel stops is silly at best.

You went to a Catholic school miss me with the shit. I don’t care about New Orleans in this conversation. And why is he passing! Passing equals good. It’s supposed to be. I can’t blame parents more than an entire fucked up school
