This is crazy. Baltimore is a haven for juvenile crime. The city is spiraling downward while the major is getting major pay raises. I’m disgusted to see what is happening to this city. The crime rate is up, drug dealers walk the streets and the police just turn their heads. I moved my family out of Baltimore several years ago because I was sick and tired of the non sense.

It all starts with these children’s parents. More than half of them are brought up by a single parent who in some cases are children themselves. The police seem to stay out of the worst areas in Baltimore which probably has something to due with the increased crime rate. But you can find tons of them walking the lush streets of Canton looking to bust young adults for drinking. The priorities are so screwed up in Baltimore.

Now we find young kids bringing guns to school and teachers getting beat up. Simply put, disgusting!

Luckily the students were stupid enough to post the video online. I bet if they hadn’t, the pricinple would not believe the teacher’s story that she was beat up. The administration of the Baltimore School system is more worried about not getting dinged by the No Child Left Behind law then to protect it’s employees.

Now the Maryland Department of Education is having a summit on school violence. There are 2 school violence experts speaking at the summit. I say, lock up the criminals/juvenilles and separate them from the students that want to be there.
Baltimore City public school teachers spend most of their day discplining their students and not teaching them. This is the problem. Punishment for violence and misbehavior must be swift, harsh, and fair. Principles to back up their teachers. There was an article about a student telling a teacher to “get out of my face”. In my day, that student would have instantly expelled. Now, the school system wants to “understand” why the child lashed out. There is nothing to understand except that for every action there should an equal reaction. A physical threat should be treated as such. The teachers in Maryland and particularily Baltimore are verbally and physically abused by their students. These students should be suspended on the first offense and expelled on a second offense, no exceptions. The 95 % of the other students are being held back and punished by 5% of the misbehaving students.

Well, I can report back on the summit for school and student violence in Maryland. And I’m not very happy. The “expert” that was brought in to speak to the summit said that teachers should “learn” the language and the culture of their students and that some demographics have a verbal challenge as part of their culture. He said to not blame the parents for juvenille crime in Maryland schools because then you “lose the power”. He also said that teachers need to be better trained to diffuse student violence. What? It is a teacher’s job to diffuse two juvenille criminal offenders? I dont’ think so.
