the teachers cannot teach because here you HAVE to know like 4 languages to be able to reach any one group of kids... more startling stats.

One of the largest budget cuts will be to the increase of class size. The LAUSD will save about $48 million by increasing the average class size for 4th-12th grades?bringing many classes to 40 or more.


While the budget will be cut about 8%, the number of students enrolled in LAUSD will increase by over 13,000 to almost 750,000.
When I was young the kids LEARN english PERIOD. if They did it I'm sure the kids now days can also. The schools I went 2 in Texas we had like around 30% Spanish speaking and they LEARNED english, and I must say they learned very fast.

So what's the Diff. in kids today and in the 1950's when I started school? NONE

And i might add we had 30 plus kids in each class.
