Do you think, at all, about the level of PTSD some kids arrive at school facing? Do you think, at all, that they are receiving the kind of counseling they need when the ratios in urban schools are incredibly bad for these services? If you want to pin the issue on the teachers trying to solve the problem and the last line of defense in some cases, go ahead. Otherwise, I'd encourage you to spend some time with my friend, the school administrator in the capital district who is dealing with kids who have seen things from your worst nightmares. Thanks to the OP for sharing this article and showing us there is much more to life than football, and that representation really matters when it comes to who kids see teaching them. I think corrupt school officials and greedy labor unions with left wing social agendas waste money and yelling for more from tax payers is criminal 2 hours ago, BigDingus said: So you're saying these kids don't need heating and the lights on? Proper facilities and equipment? If not, then Baltimore doesn't spend enough. And if it spends the second highest amount per student, what does that say about our public education system if there are still students in these conditions? Your comment was pointless, and just tries to deflect from the issue. It's CLEARLY not enough, and we do spend way the hell too much on jails. No I am saying the Baltimore's corrupt school officials and greedy unions steal money from these kids not the jails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is Maybin and all these Betty's are crying about no heat and no power when there are other issues that have been systemic for a long time. Pretending this is just now an issue negated the fact that it has been a historical issue; teachers/educators abuse the system and there is a ton of waste is education. Maybins cause may get some eyebrows raised and some $$. And he's right to fight for it, fight for what you believe in and use any status you can to advance your cause. And here is a shifted goal.post! See, folks. Right here. The problem with the education system isn't that we spend too much on it. It's that we spend a lot of money on prison! Yep! If the prison system didn't waste money you could use that to keep pumping money to Baltimore! Proof to back up your absurd claim? Or do you just want to spout off feelings? Too bad you weren't born to a crack head mom. Would have loved to seen your life then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you're levying this charge, I'd like to see all the data that supports the hypothesis that this applies to Baltimore public schools at large and to Maybin's school in particular. Also, I'm remembering why I dropped off from spending much time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 5 minutes ago, HT02 said: Dollars per student is a great measure. Age of the population has nothing to do with how much money the schools get (and waste). That's simply not true. Sorry. Age of the population is directly related to how much of the budget is allocated to schools. It has to work that way. If you have a bunch of old people you have to pay more of the budget for things like healthcare. It's simple economics. I've seen the data, and I work in economic development. Per capital measures are ALWAYS misleading. Wasting money, regardless of how much they get, could absolutely be an issue, as you say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They receive almost $18k per student and they can't supply heaters to classrooms? Allocation of that money is a different story. If that is the problem then change that it has nothing to do with money being spent on prisons. 2 hours ago, dorquemada said: It's a shame that the kids are the victims of such reckless idiocy of the local government in Baltimore. the district spends over $15k per pupil per year yet can't figure out how to keep the heat on.

I'm in the same boat, and now I'm even questioning why I even started the OP, which I thought was a just a neat story about someone finding their calling and trying to do some good in the world. At the end of the day, the "I've got mine, and if you don't have yours it's your own fault" attitude is nothing new, but I'm not sure how or why it needed to take over a thread on what was otherwise just a nice story. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I'm going to remain hopeful that people who understand that a football team's success or failure is the result of thousands of small decisions – and who understand how regional differences can affect those teams' outcomes – can apply this same logic to the rest of life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
