Several Baltimore schools have no students proficient in state tests
<p><pre><code>  &gt; Last year, not one student scored proficient
  &gt; in any state testing.

  &gt; “That’s absurd to me. That’s absurd to me,” says
  &gt; Warren’s mother Janel Nelson. “That’s your teachers
  &gt; report card, ultimately.”

This is bad. Teaching is an incredibly stressful job and putting more pressure on teachers only causes them to leave to schools in which their effort pays off.<p>Children need to be taught to take on more autonomy for their grades and other outcomes in their life. It&#x27;s okay if they need to be spoon-fed a little bit when they first join a school, but they must be weaned off this if they are to have a chance in the &quot;real world&quot;.
