BK> Well, you just damned your governor. Then why bother recalling a
BK> democrat if the republican replacement is no better?

We didn't know that at the time. AND al his Politicla Retoric during the
Recal lProcess never gave us any indicatuion.
We took a Chance and lost BIG time. In fact he has turned ouit to be
WORDSE thatn the one we Threw out of office.

BK>BK>>BK>> California has a much higher average teacher's
salary, which you
BK>BK>>BK>> may think it's a bad thing to pay teachers well.

BK> TW> And thyey have a BVERY POIOR sghowing in rea;l student
BK> TW> Literacy. Again fol thare is little connection between
BK> TW> Teachers SAlaries and Student achievement. Adn opnce again

BK> How would you know? There is no real test. Clinton wanted
BK> national student testing, but the right shot that down as a
BK> federal intrusion. Bush got federal testing, under No Child Left
BK> Behind, but the states get to chose what tests to give and set
BK> the standards for proficiency. So, how do you know?

WE Know becasue each the Employers of the Stare report o nwhat they most
need in tohse entering the wroking field. The MOST needed thing is to
be able to Communicate and Read and Right in English. POlus the lack of
simple Math Skills is a real Prolbem. OR even the ability to Thinkout5 a
problem.
Before the Teachers UNION gained a strangle gold on the educational
system all those skills were taught. Adn taught by very low paid
dedicated Teachers by the way.

NOW all that is taught is warm and Fuzzy Liberal propoganda that does
NOTHING to prepair a student to be able to Function in the World.
