Ah, I'm getting my Baltimore stories confused I was thinking we were talking about the chess champion from Baltimore. The kid in this article is successful at sports not academics. Those tests aren't testing their athletic ability.
- daveFNbuck 9y agoHe is successful at sports to such a degree that his upbringing is clearly not a complete barrier to success. Yet none of the students at his high school are proficient in english or math. This indicates that it's probably not the students' fault.
- pmorici 9y agoI'm guessing if you went and talked with the parents and peers at those schools that they would place high value on athletics and low value on academics.
