Reply #24: I think CA was #3 before Reagan, I was there

[Piewhacket]

then watched CA was plunge to the bottom under Reagan...

It was the single greatest catastrophe ever to befall
my state. Despite subsequent prosperity CA schools have remained
on the brink.. a disgrace to any educated person, a
disgrace to any forward looking person.

Yet teachers are still dedicated, students learn, but
some are necessarily marginalized... the schools continue
under a barrage of mortal economic and political assault.

I hope change has finally come to education, for what
we have is not enough.
