im just gonna respond to a few thoughts being passed around X_X
the teachers in California are the highest paid by average in the US, so its crazy to sit and say, "theyre cutting so much from the schools" also, we have the highest fail/drop out rate in the nation, due to the fact that the "no child left behind" act actually hurts more since some students who may actually need help, are losing that help to those who dont even want to be there or be bothered with school in the first place (a good bunch of which are either illegals, or children of illegals). So I believe teachers pay should be based on their students overall performance, that way teachers would be more bothered to say "ya know what, get the hell out of my class if you are going to waste my time" to those that do waste their time.
