Half
of Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District students are not “college ready,”
according to Ashley Archibald. The Prop 30 taxpayer dollars apparently have not
brought down class sizes, brought back more teachers, or even brought up our
sagging public education system. Then again, voters should have expected as much
from the state legislature: more of the same “rosy projections” with thorny
results. Also, the ever-present teachers unions still frustrate reform at ever
chance they get. School choice and a voucher program will make our students
“college ready”.
Congressman
Henry Waxman (D-Santa Monica) has been clamoring about the potential calamities
that will crush this earth, unless the federal government executes immediate
action to curb “climate change” (or is it “global warming”? “ozone depletion?”)
What’s the point of researching “climate change”if no one can read or
write?
State
Senator Ted Lieu (D-Santa Monica) recently received the“Senator of the Year”
Award from the League of Humane Voters for his legislative efforts on behalf of
animals. Students are still forced to attend the school in the same zipcode as
their home address. Students and parents still must suffer under incompetent and
immoral teachers. School districts and
administrators still do not have the power nor authority to discipline and
ultimately remove such failing educators. When will Lieu issue humane laws for
the humans, like school choice or vouchers?
Our
representatives have done nothing for our failing schools. When will our leaders
lead on granting every student the opportunity to be“college ready”?
