Thots on the Great State Of California

I am not in favor of higher taxes. Regulatory fees, administrative fees, and other types of 'fees' are just another way for taxes to be levied with out being called a 'tax'.

Public schools are not private entities owned by a select group of residents or parents. They are PUBLIC. As such they are administered by the Govt. There is no way for the Gov't. to 'butt out'.
Public education is the responsibility of the Govt.
What teacher/pupil ratio does the populace think there should be? Twenty to one? Twenty Five to one? As many as can be fit into a classroom? How about breaks and lunches? Are you aware that when ‘inclement weather’ is called, students stay in the class room? Does the populace get excited when they are not allowed to take ‘their lunch break’?
I will agree with some, teachers exist who should no longer be teaching. However, just like the death penalty, flaws exist.

Many 'Baby boomers' received the foundation for their adult lives because their parents were in unions. These unions provided Moms and Dads the security of a job when some manager woke up on the wrong side of the bed and tried to terminate their employment. Even beyond, have we forgot that Unions helped write legislation that protected women in the work place. 'Tis true, there were people that believed women should not be in the work place but 'Happy in the Kitchen, raising the children until her man got home'. Even if he came home drunk and he beat the ...t out of her.
Think of these benefits the next time your parents are in the hospital and you don’t have to help them pay for it because they have their ‘Union retirement benefits’.

I am not pleased with Garamendi. A few months ago he took a celebratory tone when he announced that drilling for oil in California had been cut off. Yet, we are able to import oil from other nations to satisfy our thirst.
As Bill O'Reilly said. The State has all the natural resources to support it, yet can't even touch it.

Now I ask, what have you done to help out? Have you gone into a classroom to sort or grade papers? Attended school board meetings or volunteered to help in district offices? How about volunteering in any public venue? After all, they are not privately owned. The entities are owned by the public. Yes you!!
