This is why the rest of the world hates us! In the Los Angeles, there's a new school getting ready to open up. It sits on 23 acres and will teach the eager minds of kids K - 12. It's called the Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools and will have an enrollment of 4,200. Keep in mind that in Los Angeles, nearly 3,000 teachers have been laid off over the past two years, the academic year and programs have been slashed. The district also faces a $640 million shortfall and some schools persistently rank among the nation's lowest performing.
If we want to do our kids a favor, if we want to give them the best possible education, maybe we should dump the landscaping and the lofty architecture and get some gifted, professional, effective teachers.
Naw, that's old fashioned and cruel...what the hell was I thinking!
