LOL @ E to a C.. that's a good one! haha
on a more serious note, the recent trend in public education is fairly disparaging especially here in CA. We have had a fairly bad mix of poor legislation, poor school management, and lazy/dumb parents AND kids. There has been a lot of "dumbing down" happening across the system... ie, dropping SAT scores, fight against high school exit exam, etc. All of these factors have contributed to a degradaton of the educationsystem as a whole and will lead to more problems for future generations. Not to mention that even though schools are highly funded through bond measures, the funds are often mis-managed which further erodes the education experience for the kids. There needs to be a re-vamp of the entire system and a complete change in attitude from all sides. It's not just 1 person's fault that you can pin this against.

Not to mention a child, in front of their parent at a conference, actually said "see what an asshole this guy is" in reference to my Dad. I personally am tired of hearing how everyone but the individual let themselves down.
I saw that and I still doubt it (not like my opinion means much). Looks like he saw an X on the side of a road and took a pic  |
