@JohnBert07 @dbetzel @eric_hontz You’re right, recent history is important. Check out some of @AlecMacGillis work to see how history has shaped Baltimore or take a class with @UBHistory on the city. It is mind blowing. 🔄 0 👍 0 Original URL

@JohnBert07 @dbetzel @eric_hontz You and I both know that Baltimore City is f’ed up. The difference is I as a resident, dad, educator and researcher is trying to do something about it while you throw up BS “what abouts” and context free facts. If you want to help, I could send some orgs to donate to or volunteer 🔄 0 👍 1 Original URL

@ChipChantry Isn’t that what happened to their Folgers in styrofoam cups? 🔄 0 👍 1 Original URL

@JohnBert07 @eric_hontz Even if it is 3rd spending per student, do you understand what support is required for many students in Baltimore? The city’s hands aren’t clean on this but it really starts at the state. You need to understand a kid’s whole environment before judging the raw numbers. Context. 🔄 0 👍 1 Original URL
