In reality, California schools are a police action designed to keep punks, drug dealers, and thieves off the street for a few hours per day. Not to mention to provide a handsome montetary gift to the so-called NEA "teachers" voting block.
When I was in high school (45 years ago) band practice and some athletic teams had practice starting around six thirty - seven o’clock. But now a days I have heard the don’t even have music classes or athletics anymore.
Public schools, anyway. Especially the day care centers that take care of the 19 and 20 year old whining, entitlement black students; offspring of whining, entitlement black parents.
They don't learn. Can't be disciplined. And prevent other students from getting anything resembling an education. It's all nothing but a ponzi scheme, anyway. A scam designed to keep the paychecks flowing for the relatives of high ranking administrators.
Saw a stat the other day. Don’t remember if it was California or just our county but....hey we’ve improved our scores! 43.something percent of students are now proficient in English!
Just sad!
