Way to accelerate decline, Los Angeles - it’s not like being able to think is ever more important to being employable, or anything, is it?

Woot! The further dumbing-down of our educational system continues, courtesy of parts of lametard idiot-ridden California. =.=

I hated homework. If I was going to be forced to go to school, they should’ve taught me everything on school time and gave me time to do schoolwork on school time. It’s been 30 years since I graduated from high school and the thought of doing homework still makes me cringe.

While some students do not have the opportunity to do homework while away from school thus failing to return assignments


So lets fix this socio-economic problem by dumbing down school even further and making our kids even more unemployable! Wooohooo! Stay classy, Los Angeles!

Jaime Escalante, may he rest in peace, must be rolling in his grave. Talk about catering to the lowest common denominator. Not that your typical LA student even knows what an LCD is.

The problem with homework these days is that all the 3 R's have been pushed to homework because the schoolday is now taken up with saving the earth and alternative lifestyle studies.

This is amusing. As long as they grade primarily on some form of achievement... like tests, then I’m OK with it. The reason that homework should be given is to help cement the content to be learned. Therefore, if the homework is a means to this end, whether it is done or not will turn up in the test results, whether or not it is handed in.

Now, if the next step is considering the test results discriminatory, and substituting life experience, then I have a problem.

Yet, the teachers unions want us to throw yet more money their way.

These dumbasses measure racism and equality by outcome of results, instead of by equality of opportunity.

Gangbanging 101 is a Work Experience class anyway, so actually there’s no loss.

This policy merely reflects the underlying brain capacity of most Los Angeles students.

What was that Cheech Marin sang in one of the C&C movies?

“Mexican-Americans,
want an easy grade,
So they take Spanish,
And get a D .”
