Baltimore City Schools - In A State of Emergency
POSTED May 8, 8:10 PM
 What is going on with Baltimore City Schools? 

This weekend, a staff member comes in to work at Calverton Elementary/Middle School and two children assault her and one attempts to rape her.  Come on!  Are you kidding me?  I forgot to mention that the boys were 13 year olds. 

Thoughtful plans and kind words are not cutting it.  The schools are in a State of Emergency.  Don't you agree?  If we continue to do what we have done we will make the situation worse.  Take a look.  We want teachers to want to teach children.  Isn't that right?  Teachers deserve to be safe.  Correct?  What is it going to take?

Last week I wrote an article, Where is the Outrage in Baltimore?, for The Baltimore Examiner. People wrote in all around the city saying that parents don't care anymore.  Is this true?  Are there any good parents out their who want to make a change? 

Administrations can only do so much. We need parents to step up. Heck, we need everyone to step up, volunteer and do something.  We can no longer ignore the problem. We all see the guys walking throughout the city with their underwear showing.  If we don't step up and help, our children will meet these children in the mall and then what? This is everyone's problem. 

Yes, we are in a State of Emergency, and we need new intervention. We need to call a meeting for volunteers from anyone who might be willing to help. Would you answer this call?

What do you think?

Live fully,
