Teachers in San Juan Capistrano are being given a pay cut--no money to keep all of them at the current pay rates. The students, 7800, decided to protest by staying home.
Next year, they will be forced to stay home--government education has run out of money and the number of school days (note I do not say education days) will be shortened. "But on Tuesday, the board of the Los Angeles Unified School District, the state's largest school district by far, voted to shorten the current school year by a week before summer vacation begins in June. "
The wheels have come off of government education. It is time for real reform. We must end the strangle home of unions on the classroom. Then we need to provide quality education to all students--and that can be done cheaper and better by charter schools and ending the hostage of our children in government schools.
Are we ready for education yet?
