Teaching can be a thankless job. Talk to almost any educator in the public school system and you’re bound to get a earful about grueling hours, disrespectful kids, infuriating bureaucracy and minimal pay. As such, it looks increasingly like the teachers in Baltimore’s public schools have decided to just stop teaching altogether and pass every student that walks through their doors.
In the latest installment of a growing scandal revealed by “Project Baltimore”, an investigative reporting initiative launched by Sinclair Broadcast group in March 2017 to examine Baltimore’s public school system, a teacher at Calverton Elementary/Middle in west Baltimore has come forward with proof that grade changing is not only common in his school district but explicitly encouraged by senior administrators.
