    From the Daily Breeze:

    California students are among the nation’s worst academic achievers, and although some South Bay schools are bucking the trend, those in the Los Angeles Unified School District are faring even worse than the statewide average, according to a UCLA study released Thursday.

    In one of the broadest looks at California’s educational system, the state’s high-school students ranked near the bottom nationwide on key markers including achievement, graduation and college-enrollment rates.

    If current trends continue, every high school in California will fail to achieve proficiency in math by the 2014 goal set by the federal No Child Left Behind law, the report’s researchers found.

    I have to beleive that is not a joke. Sad sad state of affairs. I just brought my mom up from San Diego to live with me. I will admit I was not sad when I left Caiifornia 29 years ago and I am not sad now that the only thing that kept me coming back is now sleeping up stairs.

    Good thing he didn’t try to spell “bicycle” if he can’t make it through “sale.” There are a few tricky words in English that just have to be memorized because they make no phonetic sense, and you can find them by reading my blog. Usually a left wing troll will catch me and then denigrate my religion and politics because of my spelling.

    You should see these kids working in retail sales. If the cash register doesn’t tell them how to make change, they can’t figure it out on their own. If an item doesn’t scan in, they have to call in reinforcements.

    And they are rude – as we stand in the grocery checkout line, they rap with their friends or engage in some other distraction and seldom even acknowledge that you are their customer until it comes time to pay.

    These are the rule, not the exceptions. Sad.
