A couple of years ago, I participated in a pilot program for the LAUSD whereby 1,000 retired professionals would be prepared to teach in the system. I have been a professional business manager all of my working career and I must say that the LAUSD is the worst run organization I have ever seen. I quit because the whole experience was a total waste of my time. The headquarters building is 24 floors full of the laziest fat do-nothing stupid unemployables you could imagine. Over 95% of the students are illegal aliens and over 80% of those never graduate high school. The system is a total failure and most of the teachers are totally incompetent...what a friggin’ cesspool of wasted money!
I hear ya. it’s a mess.

With a bachelor's in accounting and a proven 117KPM, Access & Excel certified, on and on, they sat me down to a 386 whose processor I was constantly outrunning. The "MIS" guy came up to see what was the problem. Do you know what he said? He said, "you're gonna have to slow down". Then, oh then, my BOSS, the FINANCIAL DIRECTOR said when I requested a faster computer "some of us may not be as good on the computer, but we've been here longer and will get the first new ones". Yessir! Let's give these overweight jobsquaters a big hand! I just left. I couldn't take it. They actually had a bunch of IBM cards in one drawer (whimper).... I never dared to ask why.
