Teaching Black Kids is Nearly Impossible, Part 2

My post from Oct, 2020, Race Realism: Teaching Black Kids is Nearly Impossible gave a comprehensive view of the insurmountable violence, ignorance and ghastly behavior problems at mostly black schools.

I came across an article about how the Baltimore school system is unable to find enough teachers for the fall session --- which begins in a few days.  The article says that there is a looming and national teacher shortage, but you can see that in black districts, teaching is collapsing. It's extremely difficult to find anyone who is willing to take the severe risk of teaching in a mostly black high school.  IT'S TOO DANGEROUS.  It's also too dangerous for the white kids that happen to be forced to attend there.

Teaching Nationwide

Nationwide, teachers are reporting student behavior as a driving factor for why some are fleeing. Let's be clear, although there are behavior problems with many kids regardless of race, it is black kids that are often completely out-of-control, violent, disruptive and incredibly ignorant.  Most black kids can't be taught. 

Most US blacks can't do US High School-level work. The only reason most are graduating through systemic grade cheating by nearly everyone in these high schools.  You'll never hear about it.  They adjust black kid's grades to let most of them pass.  It's a huge and untold scandal that's the norm in this nation.  The truth must never emerge!!  Even in the armed forces, they regularly "adjust" grades of black soldiers to allow promotions.  See One Lone Honest School in Buffalo New York.

Because we can't be honest about this, there can be no appropriate solution such as "vocational" high schools for the non-college bound kids of any color.

Good Luck Finding Teachers for Black Schools

Nationwide according to a recent survey from the American Federation of Teachers, 15 percent of teachers “definitely” plan to leave the job in the next two years. Another 23 percent say they will “probably” leave in two years (WBFF). That's a nationwide survey.

This is a NATION-WIDE survey of teachers.  A Baltimore-specific survey would probably read about 95% can't deal with the unruly, rude, violent, ignorant black students and their violent, rude, and ignorant parents.  

Teacher Shortage in Baltimore

From Fox News in Baltimore:  "Baltimore City alone still has about 225 teacher openings, days before school starts. But this is not a new problem. Enrollment in Maryland’s educator preparation programs has declined by 33 percent over the last ten years. 

To compensate, Maryland has tried to attract more teachers by offering incentives such as higher pay and retention bonuses. It doesn’t seem to be working. So, at this point, it appears fewer people want to be a public school teacher. The question is why?

A rally outside of a Baltimore County Board of Education meeting elicited a response from Baltimore County Public Schools on Tuesday.

Rally participants are calling for a change in the way the school district disciplines its students. Participants are also aggrieved over how the school district responds to academic achievement issues.

This cry for change stems from growing concerns over student and staff safety in Baltimore County following a year of violence inside school classrooms."

"Nobody is going to learn if nobody is safe," TABCO President Cindy Sexton said. 

NAACP and the teacher's union joined forces outside Baltimore County Public Schools headquarters to spread their message about what Randallstown NAACP President Ryan Coleman describes as out-of-control violence.

"I think the school board needs to revisit their discipline policy and make sure that it's up to date and it's actually working," Coleman said.

Videos of students fighting have circulated online. One of them captured students fighting  in the parking lot at Dundalk High School Back in October.

"BCPS has taken many steps to address the issues surrounding school climate, student behavior, staff compensation and school safety that currently impact every school district in America," Herndon said.

Another one shows several students at Perry Hall pepper spray a person, sending them to a hospital.

But that's not all that teachers want to see improved. Other major problems include staffing shortages, a decline in academic achievement, and unfair pay.

"We need to attract and retain our educators," TABCO President Cindy Sexton said. "We have hundreds of openings and we're going to have more."

Good Luck Baltimore.
