<p>If I came across harsh or insulting, I apologize, I of course have no problem with anyone who decides not to pursue a job for his own personal reasons. However I was just pointing out that his reasons were systemic and part of a much larger picture of why the LASUD system is struggling. It’s not his choice to turn away from it, it’s his reasons behind his decision I find troubling. It’s not that he wants to pursue another avenue, it’s that he’s actively avoiding LAUSD because he finds the teachers mediocre and the students even worse. That’s the reason why a good teacher SHOULD choose LAUSD, not the other way around.</p>
