Reply to comment by Syphon6645 in weren't we just about a year ago talking about needing to fund alternate programs to help our youth instead of just pumping money into the police force? the new governor is increasing a police force? by Syphon6645
>Baltimore city students already get more funding in the state per student, by far. I'm fine with even more but if it's going to waste what's the point?
First of all it's not "by far." It's about the same as Montgomery Co. Second, the system was underfunded for several decades. Maryland had to be sued into properly funding Baltimore Schools in the 90s; and it's fallen short of the mandated terms quite a bit in the interim. You can't glean anything from state rankings alone.
>The school system in Baltimore City has been disgustingly mismanaged fiscally and administratively.
How much of it is fiscal mismanagement and how much of it is pushing a deteriorated system uphill?
As for the rest, I agree. Making it rain on cops is useless and destructive.
