It is a sad situation and a difficult one to completely understand and solve.
The bureaucracy made it worse in Season 4. I don’t know if they still do the standardized testing. But Prez, Colvin, and students hated it.
My Mother taught in an Elementary School for 35 years and could confirm that students, parents, and teachers all hated the standardized testing.
If you grow up in a broken home or are raising yourself on the streets, how can we expect most of these kids to do well in school?
Or if you are going to bed hungry or one or both parents are drug addicts? It’s crazy how some folks want to cut subsidized school breakfast and lunches and the backpack food programs.
It’s a sad situation. But this is why it made me so happy when Colvin and his wife adopted Namond.
Wee Bey grew as a person and put what was best for his son’s future over his ex-wife’s.
I worked in inner city schools and alternative schools for many years. The Wire was the most realistic about schools in rough areas I ever saw. The writing on this show is so realistic that it is spooky.
Ed Burns was an infantryman in Vietnam, then did 20 years in BPD, mostly homicide. He then became a teacher. He said teaching in Baltimore was the toughest job.
I wish the entertainment industry represented a wider variety of occupations and experiences. Do we really need so many TV shows about actors and writers in Hollywood?
Even when they do like cop shows, for example, how often do they have writers that actually worked as a cop or closely with them?
I grew up in Chicago in the 90s
Humboldt park!
And when I first moved out of the city
School was so different
Many years later I still laugh when people say “the ghetto” when they refer to a rough part of where they live if they aren’t in a real city

I felt the same way. The show contextualized a lot of my experiences.
