<p>I didn’t mean to offend anybody either, I was just going by experience and numbers. LAUSD was ranked as one of the worst districts in all of California. It is not only the LAUSD, California is also ranked at the bottom for reading, and writing. I won’t even get into science and mathematics. I did not want to have this holier attitude. Again, I was a product of the LAUSD from K till the first few months of my senior year. I began home-schooling in November of that year, not only did I finish ahead of my class, home-schooling was a gateway to what college was going to be. It was no babysitting, had to pass with at least an 80%. </p>
<p>As for teachers(again my experience) you always sensed they hated being there. When I think back, I truly feel bad for them, it was as if their words were going to deaf-ears. I can only imagine how bad it is now when kids have cellphones right under fingertips! I remember passing notes! </p>
<p>I totally agree with you that there needs to be a foundation that helps the youth but once again, numerous times people that are a lot smarter than me have tried and have failed. We sure never secede to failing but until there is a better system that is established then we must look to other opportunities. </p>
