It is sad to hear of all the horrendous things happening in our schools. As an educator my heart cries to see the tremendous load teachers and students have to carry everyday. What can help? Communication and education, on all sides. Teachers, Parents, chilren are all slowly moving toward destruction. The beauty is there is hope. Everyone can reform, everyone can turn from bad to good, from uneducated to educated. Chilren can learn if thaught properly. Parents need educational classes. Teachers can benefit from workshops. As we all strive to improve our schools systems let us look towards communiction,and education which is a key factor to improve knowlege of realty to all involved.

Ron, when you say “most parents”, you may be correct, however *this* parent has real concerns re: the quality of education my children receive, not to mention the moral environment they experience in class.
If vouchers were available I would be one of the first to make use of them to get my kids into a better school.

Its great for you to highlight this situation, but the reasons why most parents dont pull their kids out is because they dont give a damn. The teachers who are trying to work in these places without doing porn or selling drugs are being abused and oppressed. They see a constant lack of support from the administration because expulsions reduce dollars coming in. Many of the parents in these areas use education as free childminding and they pay nothing in the way of taxes towards them. The more generous that california becomes the worse this will get.
