Maybe they should try reading upside-down.

Ah, public education! One of the biggest boondoggles, if not the biggest, in the history of civilization.

See if you can detect any logic here. In California, only 29% of fourth-graders can pass the standardized reading test. Only 35% passed the math test.

The average public school teacher’s salary in California is $101,084.

The teachers are demanding another raise. Well, why not? Democrats in the State House, teachers in the classroom: one hand washes the other (https://amgreatness.com/2025/02/10/it-doesnt-add-up-california-teachers-union-seeks-raises-as-student-scores-tank/).

Please write in and elucidate your position if you understand the situation described above and can’t see anything wrong with it. 

California taxpayers are being sold down the river. Big-time.
