This is happening all across America not just California, our education system is so FUBAR'd. From top to bottom is need to be completely overhauled but there are too many laying/lying interest in the current set up ($$$) to make the necessarily changes, and who ends up suffering? the kids

point is, it was bad then, it sounds horrible now, yet the solution sounds the same. Send your kids to private schools. If more kids do it, maybe things will eventually privatize for schools.

and kids don't really need computers from the school, those classes are a joke at best, and since teachers don't understand how to utilize them for teaching most of the time, its just another form of money down the drain.

if you a kid really needs to learn how to facebook, a 400 netbook should be more than enough for that.

schools are horrible b/c everyone including parents are passing the buck.
Not to mention that fact that 28k a year for the person that will EDUCATE them.. Fuck if you paid teachers 100k a year to start you would be getting people that are smarter and care more.

I'm from Nor Cal and when I moved to So Cal for college and nanny'ed, I was SHOCKED at how different the school system is in LA...The public schools in the Silicon Valley are pretty top notch, and I went from 1st grade all through HS.

The New Adventures of Old Christine cracks me up because that's exactly how it is...Kids competing for placements in private junior high schools, high schools -- Seems really stressful when you're 9 or so!

Our assistant principal was the one we saw when we were in trouble. I honestly do not ever remember seeing the principal. When you have a school with thousands of students, you need an assistant principal or two.

It totally sucks to be sure....but you're just feeling the effects of the housing bubble popping.

Schools are funded mostly through property taxes. Property values have plummeted, and so have tax receipts. Add to that the number of vacant homes on which no taxes are being collected and it gets even worse. More so in California than almost anywhere else.

I hate to sound like an ass, but unless you and 50% of the other parents are willing to vote yes on a tax increase, there's not much you can do.
If they don't cut school funding, then they have to cut police, fire, or hospital funding.

There's no easy way to fix the problem. :(

If any of you know people who are principals in the LAUSD, you understand that it's not a one person job and without the assistant principal, they'd be completely overwhelmed. Think about how time, labor and money intensive it is to run a school... more so than almost any type of corporation. And you think that a major corporation should have a CEO and that's it to handle things? No CFO, no CTO, not even a VP of Operations?
Seriously.

Which is actually funny to me.

I received a letter last week telling my my property value went up, according to the city's assessment, and my taxes would be for 2009 as well. Sure it was only $1500.00 an increase (under $2000 anyway), but that's not the point. If my house is losing value in this economy. That means tax receipts should be going down as well. Not up.

Government. Pure comedy.

Like someone else said, it was a joke. They double promoted people to miss testing years and didn't count drop outs and etc. etc. It was a numbers system similiar to Reaganomics and the catasrophie that lead the the housing crises.

Seriously, I mean it came out of Texas and was Republican backed. Has the place or the party ever done anything that wasn't a scam?!

Everything looks good on paper.

Lowest common denominator.

Think along the weakest link in a chain. That is the pace for everyone.

I guess I'll put sarcasm into flashing lights next time for you, and illustrations.

No child left behind is beyond a joke. Stupid is more like it.

turns out hundreds of teachers are downtown protesting the cutbacks. they will do civil unrest if necessary the news said.

at least it is making the news outlets-this is a seriously big deal right now.

I am getting letters back from the school board members I blasted. we shall see what happens.

I've been fighting the good fight on this so if I have been delayed on getting back to anyone on biz, sorry about that. I am back now though, just had to do what I had to do to support the education of kids.
