“LA is lost”

I was pretty shocked to learn that half of the students in the LA Unified School District don’t even speak English.

I hadn’t realized it was quite THAT bad.

A bit more digging revealed that two ethnic groups had about 80% graduation rates, one had 60%, and another had about 40%. The overall rate was 44%. I’ll leave it to you to discern what all that information infers. Suffice it to say that the tax payers of LA & Califoria are spending over $20,000 per year for every high school graduate.

It’s not just LA—unless something is done about this, our whole nation is screwed.
