Jackie Goldberg: LAUSD Don't dismantle Public Education

[VeraSt101]

the stupidest college students become ed majors -- why? -- because they are not smart enough to do anything that requires brains, such as engineering -- these stupid people are the reason public school students cannot read or write

Squandering money is a problem ,the truth of education is a very simple fact.

We have not excepted the fact that public education has reversed it's role as educating children in the basics of mathematics, reading ,science history, and slowly evolved these disciplines into being electives with sports becoming the primary focus. Any modern school is so sports oriented that it would blow your mind. This is the new sacred cow along with SUV's Beer, Viagra, Television, computers and computer games.

Bush, Cheney, and the miltiary pharma prison corporate complex squandered the money on pointless wars of agression to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan as well as other countries.

Ms Goldberg had years to fix things like this while she was a representative in Sacramento, but instead, just added to the out of control spending without expecting any accountable results. It is not just about spending,, but how that money is being spent. Throwing more money into the endless pit of education in California is what got us to this point NOW. The rules she made in California is a main cause of its demise now.

Thanks for posting this. I was living in CA when Jackie was President of the board and I remember watching those grueling budget cut meetings on the LAUSD cable access channel.  It was devastating and riveting. Sad to see not much has changed.
