"They're getting the funds that we should be getting," she added.
Interesting focus. It's all about the money, to these so-called 'educators.' Where is the, "We're obviously not providing what the people want, so they're voting with their feet," focus?
And, in another surprising newsflash, their wildly proclaimed 'friendliness' to homosexuals has resulted in a drop in population in the SF Bay area. Who'da thunk it?

The same thing is happening in South Florida after decades of portable classrooms and school overcrowding. Now there is negative growth.

Some are running screaming to homeschooling. Of course. The teachers' unions are accomplishing what the auto unions in Detroit did -- make things so utopian that the whole darned industry craters.
In this case, it will be a good cure.

"They're getting the funds that we should be getting," she added.Maybe they should have "ghost" students like when New Orleans had "ghost" deputies on their police force.

Parents moving from CA to TX need to brace themselves, especially if they have kids in HS: their children will be far behind their peers, thanks to the poor education environment in CA.
My evidence is empirical, but the consensus among the teachers that I've spoken with, HS kids transferring from CA are normally two years behind their peers taught in TX schools.
Don't know what it is for other states--any and all input is appreciated.
It's sad: I received my education in CA public schools when they were excellent. Every student in my 6th grade class was reading at 11th grade level or higher. One novel we read in class was Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo.

Inland empire??? Riverside, San Bernardino, Colton and Redlands. Southern CA
To: dearolddad
Perhaps I'm too sensitive, but with all the talk of "La Raza" and the "Reconquista agenda", as demographics shift in California, the term "Inland Empire" seems to have frightening connotations.

Maybe parents do not want their children in kindergarten being taught that homosexuality is normal.
