It is 2017.  [b]How can Baltimore public schools still be so bad?

How many more generations of kids will go without an education before we, as a society, say enough is enough?[/quote]

Because we, as a society, don't want to commit the resources to the things that would actually improve the chances of children born to poor black parents in cities (actually of children born to poor parents of any race in rural, suburban, or urban areas), and then we blame the schools for our own failure as a society.[/quote]

Really?  What do you think we should be doing that we are not?  What resources exactly do you think would make a difference here?[/quote]

1) provide safe housing. Do you know Freddy gray was poisoned by lead as a child from unsafe public housing. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/investigations/bs-md-lead-poisoning-gaps-20151213-story.html

2) year round public school that starts at 8am and ends at 8pm, providing 3 meals a day, school, tutoring, clubs and sports.[/quote]
