but finishes near the top half of his class.
France†s son attends Augusta Fells Savage Institute of Visual Arts in west Baltimore. His transcripts show he†s passed just three classes in four years, earning 2.5 credits, placing him in ninth grade. But France says she didn†t know that until February. She has three children and works three jobs. She thought her oldest son was doing well because even though he failed most of his classes, he was being promoted. His transcripts show he failed Spanish I and Algebra I but was promoted to Spanish II and Algebra II. He also failed English II but was passed on to English III.
“I'm just assuming that if you are passing, that you have the proper things to go to the next grade and the right grades, you have the right credits,†said France.
As we dig deeper into her son†s records, we can see in his first three years at Augusta Fells, he failed 22 classes and was late or absent 272 days. But in those three years, only one teacher requested a parent conference, which France says never happened. No one from the school told France her son was failing and not going to class.

Missing or showing up late 272 days is the schools fault?

Hey mom follow up on your kids grades. I did every semester from kindergarten through college and always knew how my kids were doing in school.
I mean, even if your kid is being promoted every year, aren't you as a parent curious if you have an A student or a D- student?

Take the exact same school and remove the current students and replace them with Asians and suddenly the school is excellent.

You have to be equally invested in your child as a parent and know whats going on. The school isn't the only negligent party in this story.
It's a toss up who did worse, the school, the kid or the parent?

Do you REALLY believe there was no attempt by the school to alert the parent for an entire year?
No.
The mom is a pathological liar, who is raising future inmates. End of story.
I'm gonna guess there was no contact information for the "father"...

It's a toss up who did worse, the school, the kid or the parent? Oh, they are all bad. Wife and I were in the teacher's classroom at every quarter end. We knew what was going on and we didn't trust our kids(trustworthy as they were) to tell us the whole story. Â
I agree fully that this isn't just a school problem. But it IS a school problem.

That he continued to be promoted with a GPA that Kenyon Rambo would barely be thrilled to have?

100% on the school. Shameful. We send a truancy notice after 2 unexcused absences. File with the court after 7
Counselors needed to talk him and mom.
At risk is just that. Theyâ€re supposed to get that extra attention.

Sure it would because the Asian parents and students actually give a f*ck.
