A propos de cet article

Paperback. Baltimore City Public Schools is one of America's largest and most funded school systems. Yet, historically, it is among the lowest performing. In 2024, despite a $1.7 billion budget, just 10% of students tested proficient in math. Investigative journalist Chris Papst follows the money to uncover why students continue to fail within a school system that's failing Baltimore. Failure Factory shines a critical light on America's public education system by exposing what's really happening inside classrooms and behind administrative doors. Reporting for Fox45 News in Baltimore, Papst spent eight years investigating public schools. What he learned is shocking. A significant realignment has recently occurred in public education. The focus has shifted to value data and funding over students and futures. Failure Factory highlights this transition by exposing how academic outcomes are manipulated, while students are promoted through the grade levels without receiving the education they need. When students fail classes, their grades are often changed to passing. If schools appear dangerous, arrests and suspensions are no longer recorded. If graduation rates decline, academic metrics are adjusted - making it easier to receive a diploma. For many, a career in education remains a noble calling. But a growing number of educators now view public schools as a means to acquire wealth. As Baltimore's student enrollment has plummeted, budgets have surged. Taxpayers are funding staggering increases in six-figure salary jobs, as declining student outcomes cripple entire neighborhoods. What's happening in Baltimore schools is not unique; it's ubiquitous. That new educational mindset, which prioritizes data over students and funding over futures, is quickly spreading across the country with equally dire consequences for local communities. Is your school system next? This book is your warning. Investigative reporter Chris Papst exposes a multitude of issues with the Baltimore City Schools system. This item is printed on demand.
