So, apparently this used to be a day club.
Then the freeway was built.
THEN Miniya Academies LLC bought the property and made it a charter school.
So, IMHO, all blame goes to Dayton SMART. (Who the fuck would want their kids to go there?)
This school apparently has tests scores well below the Ohio average. Big surprise.
Looking at the traffic flow, it looks like the ONLY way to get to this school is from the right lane, passing through the underpass. Elementary kids aside, this is a traffic safety nightmare. I thought Texas had bad zoning laws. Whoever approved this should have to work solely from this building for the rest of their life. Even the on/off ramp looks like a traffic nightmare.
No surprises here.
Serving 94 students in grades Kindergarten-6, Dayton Smart Elementary School ranks in the bottom 50% of all schools in Ohio for overall test scores (math proficiency is bottom 50%, and reading proficiency is bottom 50%).
The percentage of students achieving proficiency in math is 11-19% (which is lower than the Ohio state average of 54%). The percentage of students achieving proficiency in reading/language arts is 40-49% (which is lower than the Ohio state average of 60%).
The student-teacher ratio of 16:1 is lower than the Ohio state level of 17:1.
Minority enrollment is 93% of the student body (majority Hispanic), which is higher than the Ohio state average of 35% (majority Black and Hispanic).
on the bright side you can just yeet your children out the window while switching highways
My guess is it is a converted industrial building. A good place for an HVAC shop, not so good for a kids’ elementary school.
From a certain perspective, these children are getting a real education on how the US operates.
I don’t even see the sad excuse of a playground. Is it actually there?
On top near the bus you have a little triangle between the building and a tree.
I would be most worried about the things you can’t see on pictures: air and noise pollution. I imagine graduation looks something like this:
PM 2.5 does worse things than just asthma.
Microplastics from tires is also extremely bad.
How is this not considered a human rights abuse of children?
Children rights? Sounds like communism.
- actual US congress
In Ohio? Or outside of it?
Do they allow child workers in Ohio?
Because I bet if you look at actual data you’ll find it’s just a poor school without a nice playground. Sad and could be fixed sure, but nobody is dying, nobody is screeching except the guy who had to go out and find the worst example they could 🤷
Is “nobody died” the only metric? I personally think education and developmental environment are extremely important. I want future generations to do well, to be empowered and to live healthy and fulfilling lives. To me “nobody died” isn’t good enough. In this particular case the noise and air pollution from the highway combined with the lack of green space is probably detrimental to the physical and mental health of the children. It demonstrates a concerning lack of interest in the wellbeing of future generations.
Your comment made me research your comment history, and it comes up to me as a miserable series of negative wording that contributes nothing of value or interest to the communities.
I don’t want and need such sentiment, and that’s the reason why I will block you after sending this comment. Blocking users in my eyes is a very important feature of the Fediverse and makes it palpable and nice. Other big platforms shove bullshit down your throat and are regulated top down - the Fediverse is different. I love it.
I wish you all the best and hope your life or at least your sentiment improves in the future. Have fun.
Oh no, did I ruin the circle jerk? How many deaths at this school??!??? Is is really a death trap?
Great point, if they’re poor its fine because poor children don’t deserve happiness. The kids who get hit by cars or get sick from air pollution are statistically insignificant. It almost definitely won’t happen, and if it does, it doesn’t matter so long as they live to become workers and buy Amazon items, which is most important.
/s
Edit: like the person you responded to, I’m also blocking you now. They stated my reasons very well, and more kindly than I would.
Oh right, the roads made them poor 🤣
supposed to be the wealthiest nation in the world
Says who?
The US definitely has concentrated more wealth into the nation post-WWII than other nations. Of course, it’s not evenly distributed, which is basically a massive problem and leading to the destruction of the Republic itself by the wealthy few.
And how big is the national debt compared to other countries?
There are reasons the US can afford this much dept. National dept has many different implications compared to private dept. The median US citizen doesnt benefit too much from the enormous GDP per capita because of unequal wealth distribution tho. The absolute financial US wealth is the highest-ranked worldwide and the relative (per capita) one is still very high despite the high dept.
IMO a nation is only so wealthy as its median citizen or something else mathematically correct. Mean wealth is just a weird thing to go by.
Yes true i also perfer to compare the median wealth (which is still surprisingly high in the US). And even a high median wealth doesnt help you when you become homeless because of the horrible social security
The money?
Which is in whose possession? And the national debt is how big?
The shareholders
Too bad that group doesn’t include the Citizens.
Yeah, but think of the revenue the town is generating by ticketing people for speeding in a school zone. That shows they care. /s
