Some outstanding points covered in this article.

And while were are on the subject, how can Obama enforce illegal immigration laws when he is alleged to have actually been born in Kenya (and is not eligible to serve as President)?

The statistic I want to see is, what percentage of K-12 education spending, is in the classroom (compared to overhead and administration), and how does that compare to test results?

If we find, that success is based on demographics of the student body (and not expenditures), why shouldn’t we cut spending rather than increase it? One way, would be to subcontract and competitively bid common services (like construction and maintenance) rather than reserve them to unionized employees.

The national and ethnic makeup of my daughter’s school has suddenly become statistically impossible over the last year.

It’s like it’s not even in America, anymore.

I teach at a rural school that is mostly Hispanic. I have about 10 kids who leave my room for 45 minutes daily to get English instruction. These kids can talk and understand English to a point, but they are illiterate. They can't even read Spanish, because their parents either can't, or don't. With the rest of the kids, I do stuff that is more English intensive, and they like it. I can tell they hate everything being "dumbed down" to accomodate kids who don't know the language, when they are perfectly capable of doing more. But you have to wait for the ELL's (English Language Learners) to catch up.

My boss's mantra is, "We will educate kids until they learn." Sounds good as a feel-good motto, but against reality, it doesn't wash. If I need to spend 10 hours teaching Pablo how to do something, when Inga can pick it up in 2, don't I owe it to Inga to spend a certain amount of time teaching her, so that she can press on to her potential? Not according to some people. And yes, bringing up the whole illegal thing makes the race patrol start barking.

The whole underground economy has been bleeding California for decades. We're just now seeing the results, and it's going to get worse until someone like Pim Fonteyn has the balls to say, "Hey, stupid, this is why your state is the way it is." If we could close the borders, weed out the illegals, imprison people who hire them (even in the agricultural industry) and have a 20% surcharge on ANY money transfers to Mexico and other parts south, we could make some headway. But until that happens, California can look forward to more kids who get an inadequate education because of what's there in the classroom.

So how many of the kids in California's schools are illegal aliens? What's the percentage, the ratio of illegals to citizens and legal residents? The author never says, but he does blame all of California's education problems on illegals. Not that illegals aren't a problem, but this is a pretty glaring omission in his analysis.

WHY ARE WE BANKRUPT?

You think the war in Iraq is costing us too much?
Read this:

Boy, was I confused. I have been hammered with the
propaganda that it is the Iraq war and the war on terror

THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY; IT IS $338,300,000,000.00 WHICH WOULD
BE ENOUGH TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMY FOR THE CITIZENS OF THIS
COUNTRY.

Are we THAT stupid?
