A Baltimore high school student failed all but three classes over four years and almost graduated near the top half of his class with a 0.13 GPA, according to a local report.
Tiffany France, the mother of the failing student, thought her son would be receiving his diploma from Augusta Fells Savage Institute of Visual Arts in June. However, she was surprised to discover that he is being sent back to the ninth grade to start over.
How did she miss this? Not sure how much of this to blame on the public school system, but if he cannot get a good job, it will be blamed on white privilege.
I think the article said "Single mother working 3 jobs".
ReplyDeletewas all over the net last week. Lots of comments on her lack of parental oversight. And the fact that "there was no father available to comment".
ReplyDeleteI was not defending her lack of attention, just observing how this will be used to prove white privilege.
DeleteNo excuses at all if it were a white student in this position. Or what, he squandered his white privilege?
