<p>So are you blaming schools or teachers? You highlighted teachers. This is what I responded to.<br>
To say that there are extraordinary schools that can achieve a lot more than others is like saying there are extraordinary individuals. One ought to focus on what average schools can do with the students they get. And the student population in CA today is not the same one as in the 1960s when CA’s educational system was the envy of the rest of the country.</p>
